Paulus Hendrikus Martinus "Pol" van Boekel (born September 19, 1975 in Vierlingsbeek , North Brabant ) is a Dutch former professional football player who has been a referee in paid football since 2004 .

Career as a player

Van Boekel made his debut in paid football with Telstar as an A-youth in the 1993/94 season . A few days before his 18th birthday, he was substituted on for the first time in the Eerste divisie in the away game of Velsener at SBV Excelsior on September 4, 1993. Two more short missions followed for the regular right full-back this season, after which he moved to the first division relegated VVV in Venlo . Here he played for two years with Gerald Sibon , who was one year older than him ; In 1996/97 he was in a defensive row with ex-international John de Wolf . From the 1997/98 season he was a permanent member of the Venloer team and made 31 appearances this season and 32 in the following season. After the 1999/00 season, however, his contract was not extended. Van Boekel moved, after 129 appearances with eight goals in the Eerste divisie, to JVC'31 in the highest amateur league, the Hoofdklasse . At the club from Cuijk he wanted to recommend himself for further professional positions, but soon realized that he would not succeed because the training level was too far from the professional league. He gave up the idea of ​​continuing to play football professionally after six months, but at the end of the 2000/01 season he was able to celebrate the championship with the Maassstadt team.

Career as a referee

Van Boekel's father Jos had already been active as a professional referee and also served internationally as a linesman . Pol van Boekel had already whistled amateur games at VVV in his last time. He now took part in the relevant courses for ex-professionals at the KNVB , among others together with Raymond Atteveld , who later switched to coaching. Van Boekel made his official debut as a professional football referee on May 14, 2004 when he led the match between FC Dordrecht and TOP Oss in the Eerste Divisie . Before that, however, he had already had to work in the Eredivisie . At the match NEC against RKC Waalwijk on December 6, 2003, van Boekel was assigned as fourth official and took over the game management in the 20th minute when Jan Wegereef could not continue due to a groin injury.

In the 2005/06 season van Boekel was promoted to the A-list of the KNVB, his first regular first division game was RBC Roosendaal against NEC on February 24, 2006. Since the beginning of 2008 he has been a FIFA referee; on June 29, 2008 he made his international debut for UEFA when he led the match between Iceland's Fylkir Reykjavík and FK Riga from Latvia in the UI Cup .

In the 2011/12 season he played regularly in the Eredivisie, at the beginning of the season he headed the game for the Johan Cruijff Schaal between FC Twente and AFC Ajax and was referee of the cup final between PSV and Heracles Almelo . He was also used in the Champions League qualification for the first time this season and headed the European Championship qualifier between Malta and Georgia .

He had never had a role model for referees, he said in an interview in 2011, and of his colleagues who were active at the time, he liked Howard Webb's style best.

On September 21, 2016, Van Boekel became the first referee to intervene in a professional football game using video evidence at the Dutch Cup match between Ajax Amsterdam and Willem II Tilburg . He rated a foul by Willem player Anouar Kali , which was first rated as a yellow foul by the main referee Danny Makkelie, as worthy of red after a video analysis. Kali was subsequently expelled from the field.

Private

As a main job, van Boekel works the 24 hours a week allowed by the KNVB for A-list arbitrators as a loan advisor at Rabobank . He lives in Venray with his family .
