Referee
Ever wanted to be part of the beautiful game in another way?
Referees play a crucial role in helping football take place. From local grassroots football played in a park on a Sunday morning right through to the FA Cup Final at Wembley, every football match needs a referee.
Suffolk FA are dedicated to encouraging its referees to ‘Aspire’, while supporting them to ‘Achieve.’
We work hard to provide a wide range of opportunities and support to registered referees officiating across the county already, and encourage those looking to get into refereeing for the first time.
