FIFA Referees

The Football Association of Wales is always seeking to recruit Referees, both male and female. Any individual, who wishes to become a referee should contact referee@faw.co.uk.

Information on how to start refereeing can be found by clicking here.

Referees courses are held in all areas of Wales under the jurisdiction of the local Associations. Once the course is satisfactorily completed individuals concerned will be able to progress through the system, and even progress to the FIFA International list of Referees and Assistant Referees, which gives them the opportunity to Officiate in all parts of Europe and on occasion in other parts of the world.

The current Welsh FIFA Officials are as follows:
