BECOME A REFEREE

Join the Football Victoria Referee family!

Referees have a vital role, supporting games at every level. They're present to make sure the Laws of the Game are being followed, to ensure a fair result and a great experience for all.

There are so many reasons to become a referee. Maybe you're no longer playing football and want to stay connected with the game or you're interested in a part time job that provides an income.

You can take part at any age, any time and in any format of the game. Registered referees gain access to referee in all FV managed competitions and regional based leagues across metropolitan and regional Victoria.
