Congratulations / Llongyfarchiadau to Society Chair Valentin Cuiplea on his UEFA Futsal Champions League appointment later this month @FAWales @SouthWalesFA @Referee_SWFA

Calling all students moving to Cardiff - if you're a qualified referee or looking to pick up the whistle then get in contact... we're here to help @SouthWalesFA @Referee_SWFA @FAWales faw.cymru/becomearef/

Representation matters....@FAWales @SouthWalesFA @Referee_SWFA @BAMREFOfficial @theredcardwales @Pymble1984 Pob lwc i bawb - Good luck to all those this season - #RefereeRespect #NoRefNoGame

@TheRefereeForum In Wales we've moved to an online courses followed by a practical course - the cost is £35 with my area association @SouthWalesFA offering a refund scheme after the completion of six games... over to you @FA

💸 From £20 in 2003 to over £165 in 2025 – has qualifying as a referee become too expensive? One referee developer lays out what’s included, but is it still value for money? Or are we pricing out the next generation? #RefereeLife #GrassrootsFootball #TheRefereeForum

@EllinghamRay @VoGReferees @DinasPowysFc1 @ClwbCymric @SWPLInfo Standards are dropping.... need to check the kit bag the night before🤦

Ben Fawcett yn meddwl ei fod wedi ennill y gêm yn yr eiliadau olaf ond y gôl ddim yn cael ei chaniatau oherwydd llawio! Ben Fawcett's late goal is disallowed for handball! @BarryTownUnited 1-1 @HaverfordwestFC

@CDFWanderersFC @Referee_SWFA @SouthWalesFA @swwgl It’s in the Laws of the Game… check out the video on law changes for the season youtu.be/SR36XOOwr8E

@Referee_SWFA @SouthWalesFA Does this rule apply for @swwgl Junior competitions?

Just a gentle reminder for clubs that it is now law for captains of clubs to be wearing an armband as per law 3.10. There are still teams not adhering to this. @SouthWalesFA

Expect the unexpected in football. A huge thank you and well done to Thomas for stepping in at half time. If Friday is anything to go by he has a bright future ahead if he decides to go and pursue refereeing 👏🏽👏🏽

🏆 UEFA Women’s Euro 2025 U17 Qualifiers! A massive good luck to 2 of our members who have been appointed to the UEFA Women’s Euro U17 Qualifiers in Luxembourg. Their first game involves the hosts against Serbia. Pob lŵc Charlotte and Michelle 👏🏽👏🏽
