Are you a newly qualified (less than 5 year's experience) football referee? Or do you oversee newly qualified refs in your role? We're looking for referees to take part in a referee engagement study! You'll get a mentor, 'tips from the top' & more! If interested get in touch!

Congratulations to @BDSFA1 Girls ref @RefYoung226 on promotion!

Hmm yes… Strongly agree…

Just an idea.

We’ve had a number of questions over the last few weeks asking whether Chorley FC will be opening again on Christmas Day… and after talking with the team at the @ChorleyFCCF, the answer became very clear. Last year we heard from so many people who said that if we hadn’t opened our doors, they would have spent the day alone. That’s something we just couldn’t turn our backs on. So yes, we’re opening again this Christmas Day, from noon until 4pm. If you want somewhere to be, somewhere warm, friendly and full of a bit of Christmas spirit, you’ll be more than welcome at Victory Park. We’ll make sure you’ve got something to eat, a warm drink, and good company. We’ve got you, Chorley. 🖤🤍

📈 We are delighted to share that 8⃣ @EssexCountyFA referees have been promoted to Level 5 Senior County Referee and 4⃣ @EssexCountyFA have been promoted to Level 6 County Referee following our Q1 review.

It is with great sadness that Chichester City Football Club has to confirm the passing of Billy Vigar. Below is a statement from his family. We request that his family's privacy is respected at this most difficult time. 🤍🖤

THIS IS BY FAR THE BIGGEST LIE IN HISTORY. 😭
