Professional Game Referees

Common card · No. 402363

Professional Game Referees (Pro Ref) is the body responsible for refereeing games in English professional association football. Initially known as Professional Game Match Officials Board (PGMOB), and then later Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL), Pro Ref was formed when English referees became professional in 2001, to provide officials for all games played in the Premier League, English Football League (EFL) and Football Association (FA) competitions. In doing so, England became the first country in the world to fully professionalise its referees. The organisation is a "not-for-profit" company limited by guarantee owned and funded by the Premier League, EFL, and the FA.
