According to the Ass newspaper, 34-year-old Javier Alberola Rojas was announced by the technical committee as the best referee of La Liga this season by the technical committee on Tuesday.

Rojas' ability is gradually recognized and is expected to play a greater role in the future international arena, which is good news for the Spanish referee community.

Rojas' story is comparable to an inspirational film. He not only succeeded in the "Mr. Jebnez" beauty pageant, but also appeared in the TV blind date program "Next" before making his mark in the football world.

As a hope star in the Spanish referee industry, he enforced the Spanish La Liga for the first time at the age of 26, becoming the youngest top league referee, and has called out important competitions such as the National Derby and Madrid Derby. Before this, he only called for the Spanish low-level leagues such as the Spanish Second Division and the Spanish Second Division B.

However, in 2022, Rojas's career was almost terminated due to health problems. Due to blockage of the clavicle area, he had to be hospitalized and missed the first half of the 2022-23 season.

"That time was full of uncertainty, and I was scared. When the diagnosis was unknown, you always think about the bad things, such as not being able to do sports or stop law enforcement competitions. But luckily, I was able to resume and continue my work."

In 2024, Rojas was qualified for international referees. Although there are not many opportunities to perform in the international arena, he is expected to gradually gain more opportunities and rebuild his reputation as a Spanish referee.

In recent years, the performance of the Spanish referee has been questioned, and no Spanish referee even appears in the Club World Cup.

This season, Rojas has been recognized by his peers and was elected the best referee of La Liga in the 2024-25 season. Previously, referees such as Munuela Montero, De Burgos Begoetchea, Sanchez Martinez and Mattou Laos also won this honor.

The Technical Committee of the Spanish Football Association recognized Rojas's law enforcement style. As a referee who is good at controlling the game, maintaining good relationships with players and being calm and impartial, Rojas has achieved new achievements in Spain, and now he needs to prove himself in the European arena.
