UNITED OFFICIALS GROUP

UNITED OFFICIALS GROUP

The United Officials Group was created with the goal of bringing together minorities, women and any underrepresented group of referees, offering support, guidance, and opportunity to those historically underrepresented in the game. However, any members of the refereeing community are welcome and encouraged to join. With guest speakers from PRO, FIFA, and our national coaching ranks, this group is a hub for learning, connection, and advocacy.

Active members have had the opportunity to officiate at the following events as part of the United Officials Group this year:

  • 2025 Dallas Cup (Dallas/Frisco, TX) – April 11-19, 2025
  • 2025 USYS National League Semifinals (Oceanside, CA) – May 2-5, 2025
  • 2025 Armed Forces Tournament (Fort Hood, TX) – July 25-31, 2025

If you're looking to grow, be inspired, and help shape the future of refereeing in the U.S. — we invite you to join us using the form provided below.
