They are responsible for starting or stopping play when necessary, inspecting sporting equipment and examining the fitness level of players. Additionally, Sports Officials often keep track of time, score, and player performances. They contribute significantly in maintaining a safe and professional environment for athletes and spectators alike.

Important skills for a Sports Official include excellent knowledge of sports rules, sharp decision-making abilities, physical stamina, strong communication skills, and the ability to handle pressure situations.
