Football Association Match Officials
Association ("FAMOA") |
|
|
|
|
|
|
All registered referees, FA qualified
instructors and registered assessors are automatically members of
FAMOA, which was established by The Football Association so that it
could communicate directly with its referees.
|
| |
| The “Welcome Pack” handed to trainee
referees on the beginner’s course includes, at the back of a
leaflet entitled “Welcome to Refereeing”, an application form
for a Record of Achievement. That form should be completed as the
new official referees his or her first ten 11-a-side games and then
sent to the FA.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
On receipt of the completed form, the FA will issue:-
|
|
|
|
|
|
 |
a FAMOA Referee’s Badge (commonly
known as a “Three Lions” Badge); |
|
a refund of the training course fee;
and |
|
a Record of Achievement, contained in
a wallet in which certificates etc. issued during a
referee’s career can be kept. |
|
|
|
|
|
|
All members of FAMOA receive occasional newsletters and magazines
directly from it.
|
|
|
|
|
|
One or two meetings a year are organised by FAMOA at various locations
around the country.
|
|
|
|
|
|
An incentive scheme is also operated by FAMOA, under which free
refereeing kit, FA products, etc., are available as a reward for
refereeing games, attending meetings, etc.

The London FA encourages all its
referees also to join a local referees' society and to attend its
monthly meetings as frequently as possible. Membership of a local
referees' society will include membership of The Referees'
Association, the national body representing the interests of
referees and providing them with personal accident insurance cover.
