Referees Associations & Societies

Local Referee Associations (RAs) play a key part in the development and support for referees

Organised by groups of local people involved with refereeing, the associations are run for the benefit of referees by providing support, advice and guidance.

Through a subscription service they offer:

  • The opportunity to meet fellow referees of all levels
  • Guidance and discussion on the Laws of The Game
  • Lively debate on match day incidents
  • The right to financial assistance through the RA Benevolent Fund, should you need it
  • Access to events and activities involving referees at the highest level of the game
  • Support should you be the unfortunate victim of circumstances or if you have received unjust treatment

With all these benefits, and more, can you afford not to be a member?

For information about your local Referee Association Society please contact the local County Referees Association Secretary or your local branch:
