Happy International Referee Day to all of our referees!
Today, we celebrate the dedicated individuals who keep the game fair, safe, and fun for everyone. We thank them for their service to the game and their continued commitment to growing soccer in our state and across the country.
We’re at a pivotal moment for refereeing in the United States. Working together – our leagues, clubs, coaches, admins, and referees – we’re shaping the future of “the beautiful game” — building pathways, elevating standards, and strengthening the soccer ecosystem at every level.
Great ways to celebrate International Referee Day:
- 👉 Take a moment to thank a referee in your life today. A simple message of appreciation goes a long way.
