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.

Registration for 20252025-03-10 10:34:08

Registration is on Play Football - search for North West Sydney Football Referees Association.

Once you have submitted your registration, please do not be concerned if it remains as pending for an extended period. There are numerous issues with Play Football this year, all of which are beyond our control. This has resulted in most registrations being delayed this year. This should not prevent anyone from refereeing and we will have a further update later this month.

Highlights

We recognise members for their contribution to the organisation and celebrate their achievements beyond their time at NWSFRA. The following members were recognised for their contributions in the 2024 November AGM.
