WHY NOT JOIN THE AMATEUR FOOTBALL COMBINATION AS A REFEREE?

 

The Amateur Football Combination (AFC), formed in 2002 by the merger of the Old Boys' Football League and Southern Olympian League, is affiliated to the Amateur Football Alliance (A.F.A.), London F.A., Middlesex F.A. and Surrey F.A. and has over 100 clubs and more than 350 sides playing on Saturday afternoons from September through to May all over the London area, as the Map of AFC Clubs shows.

The Amateur Football Combination has an emphasis of providing competitive football and a key focus on good sportsmanship, sociability and hospitality after the game. Home clubs are expected to entertain the opposition and match officials after games, providing food and drink, acknowledging that there should be more to football than simply ninety minutes on the pitch.

AFC football offers players and referees alike the chance to participate at a level which suits their ability, providing a competitive but sporting game whether they are 1st XI or 9th XI fixtures.

In AFC football referees are considered as part of the family, and an integral part of the game. There is no "them and us", and referees are treated just as hospitably after the game as the opposition.

If you're a referee interested in officiating in a friendly atmosphere please contact us. We are always keen to attract new match officials, be they experienced or recently qualified referees who are looking to progress their refereeing careers.

If you would like to join our panel please complete and return a registration form click here to register and mail or email it to our Referees' Secretary:- Bob Coates, 31 Parkway, Horley, Surrey, RH6 7HY.
