Refereeing career
[edit]Stieler has been a DFB referee since 2004, a Bundesliga referee since 2012, and a FIFA referee since 2014.[1]
On 2 October 2025 he officiated at a Europa League match between Celtic and Braga in Glasgow and disallowed a crucial equalizer by home club Celtic after a two-minute VAR review "despite no handball being evident on television replays."[2]
Tobias Stieler has decided to retire as a FIFA referee. This voluntary decision automatically opens up opportunities for talented young German referees to be promoted to FIFA's international elite list. Consequently, from 2027 onwards, Stieler will focus primarily on officiating matches within Germany. "https://www.dfb.de/news/stieler-und-wacker-verlassen-die-fifa-liste"
