For referees, umpires, and assignors

Assign soccer referees from one officiating operation

Fill weekend slates, apply eligibility, notify crews, and close payroll without a second system.

U.S. Soccer

U.S. Soccer status, on the official and the roster

United States soccer organizations can show Learning Center licenses, background-check status, and U.S. Soccer safeguarding in Horizon. Officials link a 16-digit U.S. Soccer ID once. Assignors review one person or the whole roster.

What Horizon already does

Grade and age eligibility

Keep younger referees on age-appropriate games and reserve higher-level matches for referees with the right grade.

Field-to-field conflicts

Catch a referee booked on two fields at once, or with too little time to travel between complexes.

Open slots as TBA Requests

When a Saturday game is still open, post it so referees can show interest — Horizon calls that a TBA Request — then choose who gets the game.

Pay by game and by role

Set different fees for center and assistant roles and report what each referee earned. Electronic ACH through Payment Center is United States only; fees may apply.

From an assignor who runs this kind of schedule

Payment arrives on the scheduled date

As a referee, it helps me plan the entire season from the start and manage each week's matches. The interface is very user-friendly, and best of all, the payment always arrives on the scheduled date. I use several platforms to book matches, but I love HorizonWebRef.
