SAFA On a Nationwide Search to Find New Referees!

SAFA On a Nationwide Search to Find New Referees! The association is on the hunt for the men and women in the middle of the pitch.

SAFA has announced that they are looking for new referees to employ. This is led by the Chair of SAFA Referees Committee, Victor Gomes.

They are looking to instil new blood in this department, in an attempt to avoid stagnancy.

“Do you feel that refereeing is in your blood, and you can be a great match official?” the association communicated.

“If so, the South African Football Association (SAFA) Referees department has gone on a massive referee’s recruitment drive across the country, and they are looking for future male and female match officials.

“Chair of the SAFA Referees Committee, Victor Gomes said if the country is to tap into the new blood and continue to be a leading nation in this area, it is imperative that the country goes into a major recruitment drive.”

In the past, PSL referees have been scrutinised for being lacklustre. Hopefully this will aid in changing that narrative.

“We want to broaden our current pool; hence we are looking for fresh and new ideas,” Gomes spoke.

“Those who want and think they can be good referees should forward their application to these Provincial secretaries:
