In 2025, North West Sydney Football Referees Association (NWSFRA) successfully covered 88% of games across North West Sydney Football (NWSF). In 2026, it is NWSF and NWSFRA’s goal to have every competitive match covered with a center referee. To make this possible, we simply need more referees.
Refereeing is a great way to learn more about football, stay involved in the game, meet like minded people, stay active, and earn some extra money along the way.
