IDRU brings Deaf football and futsal referees together: a place to connect, share experience and support each other in refereeing.
Why we come together
Refereeing requires clear communication, confidence and teamwork. Deaf referees can bring valuable experience to the game, while facing barriers to accessible information, training and opportunities. A connected community helps referees exchange practical knowledge and learn from one another.
What we aim to do
Our aim is to strengthen connections between referees, encourage development and make international experience easier to share. Through this website, visitors can discover referees, follow news and view appointments.
Football, futsal and observers
The community includes football referees, futsal referees and observers. Each role contributes to match preparation, fair play and the continuing development of officials.
