Abstract: The purpose of the present study was to examine the effects of competitive anxiety, in a game with great importance. The survey involved a total of 92 referees. Twenty-nine (n=29) from the Super League category, thirty-two (n=32) from the Football League category and thirty-one (n=31) women from national and local categories. The instrumentation used to evaluate the effect of competitive anxiety was a questionnaire that calculates the specific situation of sport anxiety scale. The questionnaire separates anxiety into three parts: cognitive anxiety, somatic anxiety and into one factor that correlates directly with anxiety and that is self-confidence. The results showed that men referees had less cognitive and somatic anxiety compared with women, in contrast to confidence which was higher in men than women.
