Referees
REFEREES & MATCH OFFICIALS
Referees are crucial in making the beautiful game what it is - and that's why we're dedicated to supporting their journey.
Through producing, supporting and developing a highly motivated and talented network of FA qualified referees we not only ensure that football in Surrey in safe hands, but that our officials enjoy their experience.
We work hard to provide a wide range of opportunities and support to the 907 registered referees officiating across the county already, and we're always looking to encourage people to take their first steps.
Places are now available to book on our FA Referees Courses, taking place in 2025.
