The Referees’ Association is recruiting new members to join the Digital Team for the 2022/23 season.
The RA, which has a modest following across Twitter, Instagram and Facebook, provides members and the wider refereeing community with information about what we do, opportunities and information about RA events. We also advertise member benefits and partnerships. We celebrate the great work of our local RA’s. During the season, we’ll celebrate key match official appointments across the footballing pyramid; from grassroots to the upcoming 2022 Qatar World Cup.
Our RA Digital Team is looking for keen, enthusiastic, talented and reliable volunteers to join the team for the 22/23 season.
If you have experience writing articles, social media posts, graphics, newsletter curation, interviews or even TikTok, the RA Digital team wants to hear from YOU!
Applicants will have the opportunity to learn and will be provided with support from the RA throughout the season. The team will meet via Zoom once a month to discuss plans, the work that needs to be completed, ask questions, and discuss any ideas you may have.
Any applicant is expected to commit to completing a minimum of 4 hours a month of RA Digital work.

Our Partnerships
Partnerships are often formed between individuals, agencies or organisations with a shared interest to address specific issues. Our evidence reveals that our members young and old often require mental, emotional, financial, medical help, support and guidance. The Referees’ Association champion the work of those agencies that provide this support in times of need. Should you require support please contact the relevant agency below or the RA Head Office.
