What is FAMOA?
FAMOA is the The Football Association's Match Officials Assocation, membership of which is free to all registered officials.
By joining FAMOA you can wear The FA badge whilst refereeing and will be eligible to enter the FAMOA reward scheme.
The reward scheme gives you points for each match you officiate, each training event or RA meeting you attend and also offers points for fitness training, mentoring, assessing and introducing others to refereeing.
You will also receive regular communication from FAMOA in the form of a newsletter which will keep you updated with the latest news.
FAMOA Training Events
Each season FAMOA provides a training opportunity for all referees. In Bedfordshire we hold an all day event on the first Sunday of August which involves some fun outdoor activities, a free lunch and a guest speaker in the afternoon. Previous season's guests speakers have included Howard Webb and Phil Sharp.
This year's event is at Bedfordshire FA on Sunday 2nd August from 10am to 4pm. Guests are likely to include PGMOL Sports Scientist Simon Brieviek and Sports Psychology expert, Professor Ian Shepherd.
