The promotion application window for the 2020/21 season is now open and we are taking applications from referees who wish to join the promotion scheme. The 2020/21 referee promotion season will run from 1st July 2020 to 30th April 2021.

Referees are reminded that in order to be accepted onto the 2020/21 Promotion Scheme, they must read the Lancashire FA Referee Promotion Scheme Guidance booklet for Season 2020/21, which is specific to your chosen pathway, along with returning the required Service Level Agreement (SLA). In addition to this, referees are reminded that they must be regularly refereeing open age football (U18's and below do not count).

Copies of the 2020/21 Lancashire FA Referee Promotion Scheme Guidance Booklet for both the male and female pathways, along with the Service Level Agreement can be found here - http://www.lancashirefa.com/referees/refereeing-support/promotions

Once all stages of the application process have been completed , referees will be contacted with further information and a web link to notify the county FA of their fixtures that can be considered for observations. This information will be distributed in June 2020.
