The breakdown includes 11 referees, 11 assistant referees, four futsal referees, and four beach soccer referees. In total, there are 22 male and eight female arbiters, with three of the 11 referees being female, while five are assistant referees. All futsal and beach soccer referees are male.

Only Emmanuel Omada (assistant referee), John Tope Ojeleye (futsal referee), and Noah Adejoh (beach soccer referee) are new to the FIFA category. Samuel Pwadutakam (assistant referee) and Ndubuisi Ukah (futsal referee) are the longest-serving, having been FIFA referees since 2014.

Futsal referee Dung Davou Musa has been an international official since 2015, while referee Salisu Basheer, assistant referee Tejiri Digbori, and beach soccer referee General Olawale Fawole have been on the international circuit since 2016.
