Ravshan Irmatov has been included in the list of 19 best men referees of the 2011-2020 decade.

The International Federation of Football History & Statistics (IFFHS) has devised an equitable method for determining The World’s Best Man Referee of the decade 2011-2020. The Federation has taken into consideration the TOP-20 of each yearly ranking from each category concerned and allocated points to each place. So, the first-placed received 20 points, the second-placed – 19 points, the third – 18 points.  And one point for 20th place. 

If the annual ranking comprised fewer than 20, no point is awarded for the unoccupied places.

Adding the points from the individual years provides a World Ranking for the Period 2011 – 2020.

Germany’s Top Referee Felix Brych has been named as The World’s Best Man Referee of the Decade. The 45 years old Brych, who was one time The World’s Best Referee of the year in 2017, is known for his regularity (second in 2019 and 2020, third in 2014, fourth in 2013, 2015 and 2018), so he became a deserved winner with only one point more than Cuneyt Cakir from Turkey and eight more than Netherland’s Bjorn Kuipers.

Uzbekistan’s Ravshan Irmatov earned 33 points and has been placed 16th in the ranking, taking over Jonas Eriksson of Sweden (30 points), Clement Turpin of France (30 points) and Alireza Faghani of Iran (23 points).
