To re-register as a Referee, you must have registered as a referee in either of the previous two seasons, or completed The FA Referees Course in the previous season. 


If you were a referee but have not re-registered in the previous two seasons, you will need to contact your parent County FA so they can advise you how to re-register. Find your County FA contact HERE.


Step 1


Login to The FA's Whole Game System, using your email address and password.

Select 'Referee Administration' tab



Step 3


Click on the "Referee administration tab" then "Registration" on the left handside



Step 4
