And the 2015 Referee of the Year is......

Brych

Congratulations to Felix Brych of Germany, who was named our 2015 Referee of the Year. Although Brych didn't referee a major final, he was in our opinion the most dependable referee for UEFA Champions League, Europa League, and EURO 2016 Qualifying. Brych was someone who stayed out of the headlines as a referee, which is often a good thing because it indicates a lack of huge errors. Do you agree or disagree? Tell us in the comments!

Alireza Faghani is our December Referee of the Month

Faghani

Alireza Faghani was voted by our writers as the Referee of the Month for December after a strong performance at the Club World Cup which saw him referee both the 5th place match and the Final. He was strong in both matches, giving him a strong finale to a stellar year in which he refereed the AFC Asian Cup final in January. Overall, a well deserved award for Faghani.
