Also a bit concerning that play had already restarted with the Paraguay free kick, then after it was headed away Makkelie blew up for the VAR review. Definitely not correct in law...

Anyone know what 78 means on MOAS?

Hi all, Does the below quote taken from a 2022 RefChat post still apply regarding the level eligibility to potentially officiate in the Men’s FA Cup? Extra Preliminary round - L4 in the middle, L5 on the line Preliminary round - 3 or 4 in the middle, 4 or 5 on the line 1st Qualifying round -...

Would anyone be able to provide the full email sent out please?

You're right, I automatically thought the WSL2 would be expanding, but no, it seems it will remain at 12 teams.

I follow the professional women’s game in England very closely — probably more so than the Premier League. From the 2026/27 season, both the WSL and WSL2 will expand from 12 to 14 teams. This means an extra fixture per division each matchweek. From what I’ve seen this season (2025/26), there...

It's a huge shame that an official registered on the FIFA list is getting a call of this magnitude wrong. I remember in 2021 she was operating solely as an Assistant (and on the FIFA list then!), so she must have progressed quickly to now be a WSL referee, on the FIFA list and officiating a...

Plyometrics is great for boosting the power in your lower body muscles

Hi Gabriel, Is this basically your CFA’s version of County CORE? I had an assessment evening for Surrey FA CORE on 28th May, so I can give you an idea of what ours involved – yours will probably be quite similar. For us, the evening included: Fitness Test 40 runs of 75m in 17 seconds, with...

I believe it is the same as Nike released no other referee shirt like that colour for this cycle. It does look green but rest assured it will turn out like this ⬇️⬇️ It doesn't appear that Volt is in your size at ProKit - however Kitlocker have medium in stock and also use the same volt image as...

That logic does make sense, and I agree that variety is important in final appointments. But Kavanagh was the referee for the 2021 EFL Championship play-off final and still got appointed to the 2025 version 😉.

I would echo this. Nike kit feels fab but RS and A&H are both awfully overpriced. If you are looking to get Nike kit then have a look on Kitlocker and Newitts who do the shirts for a much more reasonable price. Kitlocker However, they don't apply CFA patches so I would buy iron-on ones...
