ECFA Football Officiating Hubs

Football Officiating Hubs is a funding pot available to ECFA accredited colleges. Apply for up to £1500 for course delivery and £250 for transition funding. The aim is to train students to qualify and referee within grassroots and college football.

This funding will be utilised to deliver an FA referee course to interested students who have the ambition to start or continue their referee journey within the local community and college football activity as an FA Qualified Referee. Applications are jointly applied for with the local County FA.
