Our Aim : Ein Nod

Cardiff Referees’ Society was founded in 1886 by a group of school teachers that met and formed the first Association of Referees in the South Wales area. The aim of the Society was to develop, support and nurture referees and that objective remains the same today! We currently have over 100 members making us one of the largest in the region and we certainly try to be the most vibrant and active Society in Wales.
