The role of the umpire is to apply the Laws of the Game and ensure the game is played in a safe and fair manner.
The Laws of the Game give you, the umpire, the responsibility to manage the game both on and off the ground.
Umpiring also presents you with an exciting challenge and can be incredibly rewarding. Taking on a demanding task and succeeding is a great feeling – and this is the feeling you will get from umpiring a game of football well.
Umpiring is of vital importance as we grow the game internationally. As is true in any sport, no umpires = no games.
