This makes it obvious that the refereeing has not reached to the level of total professionalization. The fact that they remark 10.9% of the subjects are policemen, 12.7% of them are teacher, 14.5% of them are officer and 50.9% of them work in “other” lines of business and the rate of the ones who earn their livings only through refereeing corresponds to 3.6% validate the given situation.

The fact that 36.3% of the subjects reported they do it as a hobby and 58% of them reported they do it both as a hobby and their own job exhibits the “semi-professional” appearance of football refereeing.
