Through the researcher's experience as one of the accredited referees in the Iraqi Central Union, and because the
success of any referee's performance is largel`y dependent on possessing a wide range of variables mentioned earlier,
the researcher was motivated to provide these tests. On the other hand, the researcher aimed to identify these variables
and understand the relationship between them to derive an equation for predicting refereeing performance based on the
physical and mental abilities of futsal referees. This is aimed at improving the reality of this important category to
enhance their level as much as possible during their leadership in matches. The research objectives were to know the
refereeing performance and the physical and mental abilities of futsal referees and to understand the relationship
between refereeing performance and the physical and mental abilities of futsal referees. The researcher used the
descriptive method with a survey approach to measure refereeing performance and the physical and mental abilities of
futsal referees. Correlational methods were used to determine the relationship between them and predictive studies to
predict refereeing performance based on the physical and mental abilities of futsal referees. The study focused on firstdegree futsal referees in Iraq, totaling (60) referees for the 2022-2024 sports season. The conclusions included the
ability of the refereeing performance evaluation form prepared to measure and evaluate the refereeing performance of
futsal referees. Futsal referees have refereeing performance and physical and mental abilities specific to futsal referees.
