BE THE REFEREE. YOUR WHISTLE DECIDES THE MATCH. Motion Soccer is a football referee simulator in full 3D. Step onto the pitch and run a complete 11v11 match: call fouls, play advantage, show yellow and red cards, award penalties and judge offsides. Not sure? Check the big calls with VAR before you decide. Was it a foul? Does the goal stand? The final decision is yours. FAIR OR CORRUPT? Referee by the book, or try the corrupt referee mode and see how far you can tilt a match. Players protest, coaches complain and the crowd lets you know exactly what it thinks. THE WHOLE REFEREEING TEAM Run the line as assistant referee, manage substitutions and added time as fourth official, or review incidents from the VAR room. Earn your referee licences and take charge of tournaments and full seasons with clubs and national teams inspired by real football. THE SAME MATCH, 11 MORE WAYS TO LIVE IT Put down the whistle and every other job on matchday is waiting: • Photographer: a real sports camera in your hands. Swap lenses, zoom, focus and shoot bursts, complete live assignments and get your best shot on the next day's front page. • Physio: spot injuries, catch the fake ones, treat players in quick medical mini-games and drive the stretcher cart onto the pitch. • Commentator: call the action from the booth, with ON AIR microphones and a live prompter. • TV director (coming soon): choose the cameras and cut the broadcast. • Player, goalkeeper and coach: score it, save it or manage it from the bench. • Fan: watch from the stands, change seats and throw paper planes. REALISTIC FOOTBALL 3D graphics and physics, crowds that react to your decisions, and special events like pitch invaders, flares and provocative celebrations. NEW UPDATES EVERY WEEK We build Motion Soccer together with our community on Discord, and many features come from player ideas.
