Featuring infamous referees Pierluigi Collina and Howard Webb, who provoked controversy after his performance at the 2010 World Cup Final, THE REFEREES exposes fans to a new dimension of the beautiful game. For the first time, filmmakers have been given unfettered access to go behind the scenes at an International tournament, following the refereeing teams on and off the pitch as they compete for the prize to referee the final. Revealing the mic’ed conversations between referees, players and their assistants, this film delves into the referees’ world as they face abuse from managers, death threats from fans and their every decision to be scrutinized around the world.
