Abstract
The aim of this study is to determine the characteristics of the referees who have an important place in the football world where great developments are experienced day by day.
 Football has grown incredibly and globalized in recent years. Many sports clubs and leagues constitute a large sector that extends far beyond the national community to international audiences. This global growth has enabled the expansion of financial resources, especially in the professional market sector. This development of football and clubs also affected the referee process. Now audiences, athletes and club managers expect the referees to show management that they are making less mistakes, making the right decisions, being fair, and preventing sports injuries from occurring. The referees are persons who are assigned to competitions by national and international federations that have the authority to administer the competition on the basis of rules. In many parts of the world, fans, athletes, coaches are often complaints about the judges’ prejudice against the teams and their inadequacies. Referee decisions are very important in terms of a team winning the championship, falling league and competing in Europe. It is increasing day by day to criticize the judges ‘behavior and decisions in the competition, especially since the clubs’ ever-growing incomes and sales of TV broadcast rights are expressed in millions of dollars. In particular, the monitoring of the game field with many cameras and evolving video technology is closely examining the actions of the referees and the players in the closest distance and the number of repetitions too intensely. Referee also is an athlete. Hakem has to be nearest to the game, run as well as the players, have the mind open, and have to make the correct definition.
 The aim of this study is to explain the mental suitcase of the referees, which is a new definition in the referee literature and which includes the mental processes of the referees before, during, and after the competition.

Summary
Football: The sport that all professional footballers, technical men, and even club managers earn serious money. It is necessary to interpret the movements and positions during the match appropriately This is only a feature that the referees will win both physically and mentally before the competition. The second is the "mental suitcase" in which the referee carries personal qualities that are unique to itself and includes antidotes and mental tools that can be used at any time according to situational factors. This suitcase can sometimes be very cluttered. You need to give the right emotional response For this reason, as an antidote in your suitcase, optimism-effective use of body language-authority (authority)-simplification of the claims and coolness must be found and eye contact with the player must be established. This study does not focus on the physical characteristics that referees should have, but only on mental power
