Background: Psychological aspects such as anxiety, self-esteem, self-confidence, and stress influence the performance of the soccer referee, directly linked to the professional performance of the referee, especially by the direct influence on decision making during matches. Objective: To analyze psychological aspects of soccer referee’s trough a systematic review. Methods: PRISMA recommendations were applied to this systematic review. Electronic search was performed in the databases PubMed, Web of Science, SCOPUS, and SPORTDiscus. Only original articles on psychological aspects of soccer referees were considered for analysis. Results: Twenty studies were selected. The first publication occurred in 2006. Most studies had a cross-sectional design. A total of 1693 soccer referees were investigated, 1675 (98.93%) men and 18 women (1.07%). Decision making was the theme most investigated in the studies (6 studies), followed by stress (3), burnout and reaction time (2 each). Conclusion: The analysis of the scientific production on the psychological aspects of soccer referees allows us to conclude that the interest in this research theme is recent. The predominance of the investigation of psychological aspects about male referees is expressive in relation to women.
