Hi, i wanted to ask if you have any available questions and answers based on laws of the game for 2025/2026 season.
i am from Cyprus and every year referee committee make a publication for around 400 questions and answers in native language. Is there any similar PDF file in UK or in other countries?

Another referee from Japan recently posted his website:

www.soccer-laws-dojo.com

Soccer Laws Dojo | IFAB Laws of the Game Study & Referee Exam Prep (2025/26)

A free mock test site for the Laws of the Game, designed for referee certification exams. Strengthen your knowledge for matches and promotions.
www.soccer-laws-dojo.com

This is a pretty good tool, but there are occasional issues.

But on the IFAB app there is a Q & A Section also. This can be useful.

Thread 'How do you usually study the LOTG in your country?'

Hi everyone,
I’m a football referee from Japan (Class 2, certified by the Japan Football Association).

I recently created a free study website that offers quizzes on the Laws of the Game.
It’s just a small project to make studying a bit more engaging, and I thought it might be useful as one of many resources.

Here are the links if you’d like to have a look:
English version - https://www.soccer-laws-dojo.com/en/
Japanese version - https://www.soccer-laws-dojo.com/

That said, I’d really like to learn from referees in other countries:

This is an unofficial app and probably not what OP were referring to.

OP - it sounds like you/your association take the published q&a from ifab and translate it into the
native language?

The app is your best bet for the most recent/up to date.

Worth adding that they are constantly adding and updating them so the work is never done.
 
Thanks for the introduction!
I’m the creator of the website Soccer Laws Dojo.

Just to clarify — I’m not simply translating the IFAB Q&A.
I actually create the questions myself.
I first write case-study style questions in Japanese, and then translate them into English.
(Though honestly, my English skills are still developing, so sometimes the translations don’t come out as smoothly as I’d like....:().

My website is also regularly updated — I fix issues and add new questions from time to time.
I’d be really happy if you give it a try and find it useful!!

Is there any similar PDF file in UK or in other countries?Many countries follow the IFAB Laws of the Game, but only some publish detailed Q&A like Cyprus does England's FA mostly shares updates and guidance, but a full PDF like that isn't common. jenny mod curseforge is unrelated but shows how different topics can still connect in gaming or rule-based communities.

Some referee associations like Cyprus publish full Q&A documents, but in the UK it's more common to see summary updates or case studies rather than full lists IFAB resources are usually the base.
 
Whatever happened to those “You Are The Ref” cartoon quizzes? They were great back in the day.

A seagull caws loudly and puts off the centre-forward who’s about to shoot, the goalkeeper saves but trips over a wig that blew in from the crowd and as the striker attempts to tap the rebound in he yells “eff off” at the seagull. What do you do?

Seems like something they'll put in the November LOTG exam with that kind of wording

Caution the seagal, send off the striker and lough at the wigless spectator.

Or is it kiss the wigless spectator, marry the goalkeeper and kill the seagal.

I think you take the seagull, fox and the wig over first, come back for the grain and… what?
