FIFA assistant Andreas Staudinger

Andreas Staudinger (born April 12, 1986 in Innsbruck ) is an Austrian football referee. He is a member of the Tyrolean Football Association and is a member of the Tyrolean referees committee of the Innsbruck group. Since January 2013 he is FIFA - referee assistant and forwards games at international level.

Career

Through his father, who was an international FIFA assistant for many years, Andreas passed the referee examination at the Tyrolean Football Association in April 2001 . After one and a half years as a junior referee, he was promoted to the combat team. Due to his good performance, he rose to the regional league after 7 years. In July 2008, Andreas was proposed by the Tyrolean referees as assistant for the Austrian Bundesliga and, after an entrance examination, was accepted into the roster of assistant referees in the Austrian Bundesliga.

He made his debut in the game between FC Red Bull Salzburg II and SV Grödig on July 18, 2008 with former FIFA referee Thomas Einwaller and Roland Heim. He also had his first international experience working as an assistant in October 2009 at the U21 Iceland game against Northern Ireland with Fritz Stuchlik and Alain Hoxha . Further missions came in August 2010 in the Uefa Champions League qualifying game between the MŠK Žilina against Litex Lovech , again with Thomas Einwaller and Roland Heim. He had these missions even though he was not part of the FIFA assistant squad.

That changed on January 1, 2013, since then he has been one of the ten international assistant referees in Austria. What is special is that his father Walter Staudinger was also an international assistant at Konrad Plautz's side for eleven years . It has never happened before, when father and son were both FIFA assistants.

On January 18, 2014, Andreas Staudinger assisted Dominik Ouschan and Roland Riedel in the friendly between Red Bull Salzburg and FC Bayern Munich, which the Salzburg Bulls won 3-0. The highlight of the young career so far was the game of the German national team on June 6, 2014 in Mainz against Armenia in a team with Harald Lechner and Maximilian Kolbitsch. It was the last game before leaving for Brazil when the German national team became world champions in 2014.

From 2015 to 2019 Andreas Staudinger had 25 international assignments.
