REFSIX becomes a supported product of the KNVB
The Royal Netherlands Football Association (KNVB) have approved REFSIX as an approved product. Giving referees a more efficient and data-driven way to manage their matches and track performance, all through a digital integration and feature development.
Thanks to this integration, KNVB referees can now access their match appointments directly in the REFSIX app, eliminating the need to manually enter fixtures and simplifying matchday preparation. Once a match is completed, referees can use REFSIX to log key events, track physical performance using GPS and heart rate data, and review detailed post-match analytics.
“This collaboration is focused on supporting our referees with tools that make their lives easier,” said Giel Kirkels. “Now With REFSIX, officials can focus on their performance without the burden of administrative duplication. As well as developing a new feature alongside REFSIX, it will allow referees in the Netherlands to be at the forefront of refereeing innovation we hope this partnership will also help make refereeing more fun for officials across all levels of football”
As part of the Partnerhsip, REFSIX has introduced a new substitutions feature, enabling referees to log multiple substitutions at once — improving matchflow recording and aligning with modern substitution rules.
Hassan Rajwani, CEO of REFSIX, added: “We’re excited to work with the KNVB to bring a more streamlined and professional experience to referees. This integration reduces admin, increases accuracy, and helps referees focus on what matters most — officiating the game.”
The integration is now live for KNVB referees and is designed to enhance match administration for referees and provide access to performance insights across domestic football in the Netherlands.
