Harm Osmers is a German football referee born in Bremen, Germany on 28 January 1985. He made his Bundesliga debut on 10 September 2016. He has been FIFA-listed since 2020. Osmers is a UEFA first-category referee and one of the more established officials in Germany's current pool. He is part of the current Bundesliga officiating pool and is regularly relevant for pre-match analysis, appointment previews and VAR-focused discussion.
In the 2025/26 Bundesliga season, Osmers has officiated 11 league matches, averaging 19.91 fouls, 0.55 penalties, 4.36 yellow cards and 0.18 red cards per game. Those numbers point to a assertive and quick to punish major incidents profile, with a comparatively lighter whistle in open play, and a noticeable tendency to award penalties. For The VAR Verdict, that statistical snapshot helps readers understand the disciplinary threshold and general tone he has shown this season.
