Match Officials

Our Referees are the backbone of fair play and integrity within the International Gay & Lesbian Football Association (IGLFA). Their commitment to professionalism, inclusivity, and respect ensures that every match is officiated to the highest standard, regardless of location or level of competition.

​

Our referees come from diverse backgrounds and proudly reflect the global LGBTQ+ community we serve. Whether officiating local qualifiers or international tournaments, they uphold the IGLFA values of equality, representation, and sportsmanship on and off the field.

​

We recognise the vital role they play in fostering a safe and welcoming environment for all participants. Their dedication not only enhances the quality of the game but also champions visibility and acceptance across the footballing world.

​

IGLFA is committed to supporting our referees through fair compensation, ongoing development, and by advocating for their recognition as key leaders in inclusive sport.
