If you decide to fetch the yellow cards later, you will have to do so at the latest one hour before your first game starts. The referees that are accommodated in one of the schools should check in already on Friday. If that is not possible you need to inform us.
WHEN WILL I RECEIVE MY REFEREE LIST
All referees will receive their preliminary referee list about 1 week before the tournament.
ACCOMMODATION FOR REFEREES?
All referees will stay jointly in a school located near the playing field.
WHAT DO I NEED TO BRING AND WHAT IS INCLUDED?
A mattress filled with air is included. Bring your own pillow and cover.
You will get a unique shirt for the referees by Eken Cup and it should be your primary choice for all games, but it is good to bring your own shirt in case the teams have the same color as the shirt of the referee.
Do not forget to bring your own watch, whistle, red card and a pencil!
All referees will get a ribbon by Eken Cup that give access to the breakfast, lunch and dinner that is served by Eken Cup. Eken Cup will also provide you with a card for travel using the public transportation during the time of the tournament.
HOW MANY GAMES DO I REFEREE PER DAY?
It will be different number of games every day and on different fields. The games are played on both natural grass and artificial grass at Gubbängsfältet.
WHAT WILL I GET PAID?
The fee per match is 120 SEK.
Eken Cup wishes that the total fee and possible travel allowance is paid after the tournament to the referee’s bank account. If we have the correct information the payment will be done latest June 30th.
HOW ABOUT TRAVELLING EXPENSES?
Since Eken Cup is working with environmental sustainability, the allowance is based on using the public transportation. Referees based in Stockholm will on Saturday get paid by the zones they travel from. All other referees have the following allowances:
- Allowance for travelling by car is 2.5SEK/km to a maximum of 800SEK per travel companion within the same car. If you travel alone in the car the maximum allowance will be 800SEK.
- Allowance for travelling with train is max 1000SEK for a roundtrip ticket.
- Eken Cup works together with Tallink Silja Line and referees from the Baltic countries will get free transportation by boat from Riga or Tallinn.
When arriving Eken Cup the referees will if needed get a card for the rest of the tournament for public transportation.
CAN I PARTICIPATE BOTH AS A PLAYER AND A REFEREE?
You will have to decide to either play or be a referee. We have no possibility to adjust the schedule so that there are no clashes between matches.
