Referee Payment / Match Fees

There are certain costs involved with being a referee - our leagues recognise this through offering match day fees and expenses.


Each league will pay a different fee (and/or expenses) depending on the age of the participants, the duration of the game and the experience of the referees. For more information about specific league fees for match officials, please contact the referee appointment secretary.
