He soccer referee It is one of the professions perhaps little loved by many people, especially by supporters who, when faced with an adverse result for their team, are usually targeted by the referees who are the ones who dispense justice and who, like everyone else, can make mistakes. The National Professional Football Association has several FIFA referees such as Piero Maza, one of the most important; and others who are in Conmebol like Roberto Tobar.
In recent days it was known that the National Professional Soccer Association together with the Referees Union, is in a dispute over salary issues, which is why they are demanding the referees an increase in their wages.

What we must say is that the salary of a soccer referee belonging to FIFA is $1,800,000; while the assistant judges is $1,087,000. When we talk about First Division referees, the salary is $1,200,000, while line assistants or those in the VAR are $690,000. There is something that perhaps you did not know and that is that they receive bonuses for important matches of up to more than 350 thousand pesos in FIFA and 330 thousand in the First Division.
On the other hand, the salary of a soccer referee non-professional or amateur is $95,550 as a base and they are looking for an increase to reach $500,000, so they are making a salary claim. Second Division assistants have a salary that is much lower and is $141,000. Referees who are in FIFA and have the possibility of directing a World Cup will receive a bonus of $600,000.
