Referees

We value and recognise the important role that referees play in both grassroots and professional football.

With around 1,000 grassroots football matches played across the Merseyside area alone each weekend, we aim to maintain a strong and reliable workforce of match officials.

Our referee department aims to recruit new of match officials, support all our existing match officials to ensure we retain their services. Furthermore, we offer training and development programmes to all our referees, so they are fully able to service the needs of the level of the game they operate at
