BAME Referee Conference

By Ian Townsend

News for our Black, Asian and Mixed Ethnicity Referees


The Black, Asian and Mixed Ethnicity Referees Conference will take place at Villa Park on July 24th.

The event will provide a unique platform to discuss the well-documented challenges of a lack of Black, Asian and Mixed Ethnicity Referees at elite level in our national sport, with representation from key stakeholders, decision makers and cross section of active referees in the game, working together to find solutions for a more inclusive and diverse officiating workforce.

This event is the first of its kind in refereeing, offering a unique platform for debate, education and challenge, with a collaborative mindset approach to devising a long lasting solution roadmap.
