How to become a referee: Free refeere courses across Ireland

Jun 21 2024

Following the success of last year’s Referee Week, the Football Association of Ireland is back this year with Referee Month throughout July

The FAI will host 23 free in-person referee beginners courses across the country with the aim to get more people involved in the beautiful game by learning the basics of refereeing

Last year’s inaugural Referee Week saw more than 250 new referees trained and this year they’re looking for more would-be referees than ever.

The courses provide aspiring referees with the knowledge and skills needed to be able to referee grassroots football matches safely and effectively.
