Vilka vi är
REF-TV Sweden is an independent media initiative
TO KNOW ABOUT
Our goals
Vårt mål är utan bidra till bättre förståelse för domarrollen genom insyn och berättelser tagna från verkligheten – inte att diskutera enskilda domslut eller skapa debatt.
Through interviews, reports and meetings with different sports and the parties involved at different levels, we want to open up a world that many see - but that few really know about.
REF-TV Sweden is Inside the game - Behind the decisions

BEHIND OUR
History
Our base is in Piteå, (Sweden), and we document and portray the referees' perspective in a transparent way, by creating documentary content that shows the reality behind the matches – the preparations, the decisions, the press and the people behind the whistle.
DAVID OLOVSSON
FOUNDER OF REF-TV SWEDEN
For over 26 years I have lived in the world of leadership and refereeing— a world that has shaped who I am
Both through my own work as a referee and through my work with leadership in the school environment.
Refereeing has given me more than I could ever have imagined. Friends for life, communities that have shaped me as a person, and the opportunity to travel to places I might otherwise never have experienced.
When I decided to hang up the whistle in 2025, life changed significantly. Suddenly there was time — time that I wanted to use for something meaningful.
Continuing to contribute within a world where I feel at home was therefore an easy choice. From that idea, REF-TV Sweden was born.
A platform where the everyday life of referees can be shared. Not to create debate — but to show the people behind the decisions.
The preparations, the travels, the conversations, and the reality behind the role.
There are stories here that are rarely seen. And there is a potential that deserves to be brought forward.
I have also launched a webshop for referees — feel free to visit it!
