Referee summit in Amberg: New knowledge for the relegation!

On June 11, 2025, an apprenticeship for the local referees took place in the sports home of SV Inter Bergsteig Amberg, which dealt with current challenges and developments in the referee. Chairman Thomas Gebele was pleased with the great commitment of the Amberg referees in relegation games, which underlines the importance of the referee role. The event provided valuable insights into the current rule interpretations and the work of the referees in this exciting time.

The participants of the apprenticeship discussed the teaching topic "Persons of Team Official", with teaching attendant Walter Schimpke presented current examples from relegation games in which he acted as an assistant. Using video playing with sample solutions, those present were able to examine the offenses of team officials closer to the season during the season. For the referees, it is of central importance to recognize and react appropriately, especially in view of the current changes of control, which will come into force from July 1, 2023, such as [ig-schiedersrichter.de] (https://ig-schiedricher.de/regelaendungen-in-202-24-t-ist- new/)

current account and opportunities for promotion

In the balance sheet of the Amberg referees of the past game year, Gebele drew a mixed balance: there was no promoted in the associations, which the referee group presented with challenges. The loss of two qualified referees, Matthias Kraus and Felix Hahn was particularly painful, while Moritz Horn was the only promoted team to the district league. A bright spot is Paul Behlau, who is considered an assistant in the U19 juniors Bundesliga and is classified as a hopeful talent.

The qualified referees of the Amberg group make a solid impression. The preliminary stand looks as follows:

• Regionalliga: Thomas Ehrnsperger (1.FC Rieden)
• Bayernliga: Moritz Fischer (SpVgg Ebermannsdorf), Jonas Kohn (SC Germania Amberg), Benjamin Mignon (SV Loderhof/Sulzbach), Lukas Schwendner (DJK Ensdorf)
• Landesliga: Markus Hann (FV Vilseck), Julian Roidl (DJK Ensdorf), Matthias Zahn (FC Großalbershof)
• District League: Paul Behlau (ASV Schwend), Sergei Aleeschko (SV Kauerhof), Moritz Horn (SpVgg Ebermannsdorf)
• District League candidate: Marie Gamperl (TSV Theuern), Marcel Opeldus (SV Hubertus Köfering)
• Kreisliga support referee: Lukas Gärtner (DJK Ehenfeld masses)

The commitment of the referees should not be underestimated, since reliability and regular game lines are crucial for the rise. Positive feedback from clubs and observers support the ambitions of the referees to develop further on dfb.de.

outlook for the future

The next apprenticeship evening, which is scheduled for July 7, 2025, promises an exciting continuation of the discussions. As a guest, association arbitrator chairman Prof. Dr. Sven Laumer expects, who will certainly give valuable insights into the current developments and challenges in the referee. The referees in Amberg endeavor to expand their knowledge and successfully implement the new regulations, such as the clear statement on goal celebrations and offside offenses, to continue to ensure fair and fair games.
