How much do World Cup referees get paid?

The referees are there just as long as the players and they have to eat sleep and train so it makes sense they get paid a significant amount for their time and skills. Before they even get to the tournament, the referees get some stuff for free.

All the officials will get a personalized stash which includes boots, a training kit and the all-new 2022 referee kits, all from Adidas. Our personal favourite gift is a $5k watch from Hublot! Snazzy!

The referees get $70k per tournament as a flat fee, and a $3k bonus for every game they complete. The assistant referees get $25k and a $2k game bonus.

The World Cup final referee will receive a commemorative medal as well as an all-new stash.
