NORTH WEST SYDNEY FOOTBALL REFEREES ASSOCIATION

North West Sydney Football Referees Association (NWSFRA) is one of the largest associations in NSW with over 450 referees. Our referees are appointed to local grassroots competitions (NWSF), school matches, state competition football, such as Youth and Premier league. Based in the Ryde/Gladesville-Hornsby district, our match officials are trained, certified and assessed on their abilities to provide safe, fair, and enjoyable experiences for players, coaches, and spectators. Our referees are invested in the Football Referee Development Panel, NSW State League Football Referees Association, as well as Youth League and A-League Men's and Women's.
