It is the responsibility for all referees to ensure that they are registered with their Parent County FA. No person shall be appointed as a match official in any match or competition under the jurisdiction of the association either directly or indirectly unless registered in accordance with Hampshire FA regulations.

Following the success of online referee registration over the past seven years, referees will once again be able to register electronically for the 2018/19 through the FA Whole Game System.

It is a FA requirement that all referees aged 16 and above who are officiating in 'Youth Football' must have completed an FA Criminal Records Check which is valid and also completed Safeguarding Children;  referees who have not completed this process cannot register until such time as this has been completed, and the Whole Game System will prevent you from registering until it is complete.  Should you require further assistance then send and email to the following email address; in the email please quote your FAN, full name; date of birth to: Support@HampshireFA.Com
