Referees
and Match Officials
EVER TRIED PLAYING A GAME OF FOOTBALL WITHOUT A REFEREE?
IT'S DIFFICULT, RIGHT...?
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.
That's why here at the East Riding FA we are dedicated to producing, supporting and developing a highly motivated and immensely talented network of FA qualified referees.
We work hard to provide a wide range of opportunities and support to the 200+ registered referees officiating across the county already, and encourage those who are looking to get into refereeing for the first time.

Refereeing Support
Our referees are recruited, trained and examined to enable a smooth grassroots operation. As they gain experience further opportunities are provided to aid their development and progression. Appointments are made to adult and youth County Cup ties, together with games in certain FA competitions.
