RESPECT 7 of 7

7. Match Officials


Make your impact a positive one.
By managing the game in a positive, calm and confident way, you’ll encourage everyone to have fun.

Play your part and support The FA’s Code of Respect: I will:

  • Respect the game, the competition and all other participants
  • Maintain my integrity and approach each game with a positive mind set
  • Be knowledgeable of the laws of the game, regulations and competition rules
  • Set a positive personal example, by promoting good behaviour
  • Embrace and empathise with the spirit of the game
  • Submit accurate and concise reports and misconduct
  • Complete and submit accurate and concise reports
  • Apply the laws of the game, promoting positive actions and not tolerating actions that do not fit the image of the game
  • I will make myself familiar with safeguarding practices & review guidance on physical contact (5.6) & Acceptable Behaviours When Working With Young People (5.7) documents on the safeguarding section of EnglandFootball.com

I understand that if I do not follow the Code, I may be:

  • Required to meet with The FA, County FA Referee Development Staff or Referees Committee
  • Suspended by the County FA
