How to play Football Referee on Mac
Game summary
Football Referee is a sports video game that simulates association football refereeing. By playing the Football Referee game, the player takes over the referee’s job which includes going through a pre-kick off checklist and then making decisions on situations that happen during a football match. The decisions made by the user (the referee) will alter and affect the upcoming scenes. Each decision will have a rank. The average of all decisions the user makes during the course of a match will result in their match rank which decides qualification for the next level. At the end of each level, incorrect decisions will be highlighted and the user will be informed of the correct decisions.

Play Football Referee on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Football Referee on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.
Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.
Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
Football Referee installation steps for Mac
Step 1
