Sky Sports will once again be focusing on the role of the officials in football in our Support The Ref week, from March 19.

From Monday and throughout the week, we'll be highlighting some of the challenges and issues faced by our referees from the grassroots right up to the Premier League.

From training to technology, diversity to decision-making, we'll shine a spotlight on those marshalling the game.

Will VAR be successful? Are we doing enough to support referees throughout the levels? Just how good is the decision-making from officials? And just how fit do they have to be?

We'll answer all of the above and more, plus we'll reveal the results of an exclusive survey investigating referees' attitudes towards standards, the media, fans and The FA and get the views of some key figures.

But we want you to get involved - you can email us with your thoughts or story ideas at supporttheref@skysports.com or use the hashtag #SupportTheRef
