Join us through the off-season as we prepare for 2026-27 with fun, sociable, and accessible sessions that are a fit for all fitness levels and abilities
Our cohort of 50+ new Step 3 / 4 referees were recently put through their paces at the New Level 3 induction day last weekend 🏃♂️🏃♀️ Continuing to strive towards creating a positive environment for greater learning and development 😃
Many agree this should have been a penalty, but would it have been a red card? What factors make this SFP, or why would you not mitigate 🟥 to 🟨 as genuine (but poor) challenge?
“VAR went for a coffee” ☕️ Ghana boss Carlos Queiroz believes Ghana should have had a penalty against England.
What does it take to reach the top in refereeing? FIFA's latest feature offers a fascinating insight into "Team One" – the officials preparing for the FIFA World Cup 2026. Read more 👇 inside.fifa.com/news/team-one-…
We are delighted to announce the official launch of the BBFA Female Referee Community. 📅 Date: 29 June 2026 ⏰ Time: 7:30pm – 9:30pm 📍 Venue: Stoke Mandeville Stadium, Aylesbury We are thrilled to be joined by Sophie Dennington, WSL Referee and FIFA Assistant Referee!
Players may wear non-dangerous accessories if they are safely and securely covered; dangerous items must be removed and not taped or covered. Match officials may also wear non-dangerous accessories in addition to the compulsory equipment.

Delighted to attend @RefsAssociation Assistant Referee Masterclass, with outstanding practical sessions, talks, and clip based development delivered expertly by @FA_PGMOL officials at the top of the game!
@benatherton Very good. Some refs apply law so strictly, they won't consider context if it isn't written in law. That can be a detriment to "contextual" decision making, and "what the game expects". This change brings referees closer to together when debating DOGSO. That will benefit the game
Excited for the World Cup kicking off today? Going to be interesting how the officials deal with the new law changes and guidance...and how that translates to games in the domestic season to come. Be great to get your views as the tournament progresses!
@benatherton Corrected we stand. Refs, take note, #DOGSO context considers the number and location of attackers, as well as defenders. A very sensible update
@benatherton It is not an unreasonable context to consider in #DOGSO, but no, not seen any guidance to this point. Stand to be corrected. Looking at tonight's decision, can see why the referee considered it DOGSO even under status quo. But it does split opinions
@CavershamUnited Think that depends on who you have in the sweepstake
This vocabulary will ruffle a few feathers #NotRulesLaws 👀😆 Regardless, fantastic concept. Hopefully these find their way to clubs, officials, and fans alike, to help quash common misunderstandings, and bring expectations closer together
The Laws of the Game are the heartbeat of football: the official guide that keeps the game fair, clear and consistent all over the world, from the @FIFAWorldCup to grassroots level. With Football Rules, The IFAB is making the Laws even more accessible. It takes the same
To prevent time-wasting, the player being substituted must leave the field of play within TEN SECONDS of the substitution board being shown or, where there is no board, of the referee’s signal for the substitution to take place. Where the ten seconds are exceeded and the substitute is prevented from entering the field of play, the player being substituted is only cautioned (yellow card) if the delay is excessive.

Africa's top referee will not be allowed to officiate at the World Cup after he was refused entry to the USA, FIFA has confirmed 🚨
Representation matters. Good progress. More to come
Your Black, Asian & Mixed Heritage Match Official stats for 2025-26! 📊 Still plenty of barriers to break through, but a great year. 💪 @BAMREFOfficial #Refereeing
"couldn't do what you do, ref", players often remark! Yet many refs you meet picked up the whistle after their playing days were done, and keeps them on the pitch for many more years to come. Even decades

Levelling up! 📈 Congratulations to our 23 newly promoted Level 6 Junior County Referees! 👏
@CTYFCChairman @TheRefereeForum Sounds like a lot of referees need to look at registering for self assessment and keeping a tally of all expenses and mileage for that return 💡
