Referees are expected to make impartial decisions. If one looks at the judgment processes that take place while building a decision, impartial judgments are unlikely. A sufficient condition for a preference is similarity. As a measure of similarity, we used the correspondance of the cultural origin between the team and the referee. In Switzerland there is a French-speaking and a German-speaking culture. We analyzed 1033 matches of the highest men's Swiss soccer league. The analysis revealed an advantage for the team coming from the same cultural background as the referee. This advantage was shown by number of goals, points, yellow cards and sending offs.
