Ever tried playing a game of football without a referee? It's difficult, right...?

There are opportunities for everyone to get involved in refereeing, whether at your local club or on the international stage.

We work hard to provide a wide range of opportunities and support to the 1500+ registered referees officiating across the County already, and encourage those looking to get into refereeing for the first time.

It gives you the opportunity to remain active in the game following injury or retirement, to make new and lasting friends within the game, and to play a huge role in ensuring the players enjoy their match day experience.

There has never been a better time to be a referee in England. And remember… It can be great fun!
