If you will be performing the role of **Match Official**, you will require your own Dribl account to perform administrative tasks in the Dribl platform such as entering scores, substitutions and cards on the match sheet.

> ⚠️ Check with your referee administrator first that all [match official setup steps](https://help.dribl.com/space/RA/498040833/Activate+Dribl+Access+Accounts+-+Match+Officials) have been completed prior to creating your Dribl account via either method below.


**2 ways to create a Dribl account:**

1. Dribl account invitation sent by your referee administrator ** recommended method  *(or)
2. Create Dribl account via Dribl App


### Dribl account invitation sent by your referee administrator

Most **Referee Administrators** will create a Dribl account for each of their match officials (who do not already have a Dribl account) and send a Dribl account activation email with details below:

**From:** Dribl <[no-reply@dribl.com](mailto:no-reply@dribl.com)>  
**Subject:** Welcome to Dribl!

**Body of email: **Please click *‘unique activation link’* to activate your account and set your password.

> 📝 **Did not receive the above email? **
> 📝 
> 📝 a) Confirm with your club administrator that they have sent the activation email to you and confirm to which email address it was sent.
> 📝 
> 📝 b) Check your Junk/Spam folders as these emails can occasionally land in these folders. Once the email has been located, please mark the email as Safe / Not Junk to ensure future email correspondence from Dribl lands directly in your inbox

Once you receive this email, click on the hyperlink in the email to activate your Dribl account and setup the password you wish to use for your Dribl account.


### Create Dribl account via Dribl App

If you have registered to participate in a competition at any stage, you may have an existing member profile created but may not have been activated. Follow these steps to [activate your Dribl account](https://help.dribl.com/space/MO/58294275/Activating+your+Dribl+account) using the self-service option.


### I already have a Dribl account

If you have already created yourself a Dribl account, it is important for that Dribl account to use the same email address that was used when you registered as a match official. If the email does align and your referee administrator approves your registration, you will automatically receive the appropriate Dribl Match Official role access.


### Troubleshooting

If you have created your Dribl account via either of the above 2 methods and still cannot access the match sheet, you may have a ‘supporter’ Dribl account as opposed to the required ‘Match Official’ Dribl access account.

A simple way to fix this is by [delete or de-activate your supporter account](https://help.dribl.com/space/MYA/17793502/Delete+or+deactivate+your+Dribl+account)

Then re-signup to Dribl with the email address that was used for your match official registration.


**Important:** Your registration needs to be approved by your **Referee Administrator** in Dribl before an account can be activated or created. Creating a Dribl account prior may result in a Supporter Account  being created, that will not provide the required access as a match official.
