# GET /v2/referees/{id}

Group: Referees & managers

A referee: country, sport, career totals (matches, yellow, red and second-yellow cards) and the figures per competition (appearances, cards, penalties awarded).

Note: The career totals are the source’s; competitions lists every competition he has refereed in ([] when the source lists none). There is no per-season split (the source has none).
