ow old do you have to be to be a football referee?
A. To become a Referee with the FA, you have to be age 14 or above. There also isn’t an upper age limit but anyone working on becoming a referee will ned to be able to fully participate and be capable to keep up with the practical and physical demands of the sessions.
Q. Do referees need to be fit?
A. Fitness is a huge aspect of being a Referee, the same way it is to become a professional football player. Unlike players, referees cannot be substituted off when they become tired so fitness is a key factor in becoming a referee and they often use the beep test as training to ensure fitness levels are exceptional.
Q. Do referees need university degree?
No, to become a referee in England you will need to complete the entry level referee course with your local country FA which will see you become a qualified referee. From there you have complete a range of courses to climb the ladder and each level enables you qualified to officiate higher levels of football matches.
Q. Do referees needs to wear black boots?
A. In short, no. The boots referees wear in the Barclays Premier League is down to an official’s personal choice. However, FIFA insist on their officials wearing adidas for international fixtures.
Even though there aren’t any laws within football which dictate the colour of referee boots, it is of general consensus that boots should be predominately black.
Mike Dean came under fire for his luminous green and black Nike boots as Jamie Redknapp wrote “he deserves all the criticism for wearing green boots.
A ref in green boots!” Unfortunately for Mike Dean the time he decides to wear green boots is the time he makes 2 big controversial calls, one which was eventually rescinded.
