The FA Futsal Course for Referees

Futsal Referee Course

Due to the ever increasing popularity of futsal within Durham County FA we have arranged a Futsal Referees Course for anyone interested in getting involved in futsal as an official. The demand for qualified Referees continues to rise with the rapid expansion of both our school and community futsal programmes. More and more opportunities are arising for players to play competitive futsal through schools leagues and FA Futsal Fives leagues and we need to ensure we are also providing referees with the opportunity to get involved in this format.
