Football Association of Wales

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 John Deakin, Head of Competitions by email on jdeakin@faw.co.uk.

 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:

Referees 

Lee Evans – Bethesda

Ceri Richards – Llanelli

M Whitby - Swansea

Assistant Referees 

Phil Bates – Caldicot

Alun Boore – Cardiff

Brian James - Pontypridd

Eddie King - Swansea

Phil Thomas – Tonypandy

Maldwyn Williams - Bethel

There is many advantages of becoming a Referee, particularly it gives the opportunity for physical activity, with a consequent improvement in health and fitness.
