Fifth official For matches in the 2006 World Cup, FIFA assigned five officials. The role of the fifth official is to assist the fourth official in a variety of tasks, and potentially be called upon to replace another match official if necessary, for example in the case of injury.[3] If an assistant referee could not carry on his duties, the fifth official was to be the primary replacement, whereas the fourth official was the referees primary replacement.[4] This distinction was made to reflect the fact that assistant referees and referees perform different tasks.[4]
