The organizers of the 15th Referee Cup received a positive surprise: the Lueneburg Sparkassen Foundation is supporting the traditional event in June at the Hasenburg with a maximum of €2,360. The request has now been granted.

The first two registrations for the Referee Cup have arrived!
The colleagues from the NFV district of Stade and a Berlin referee selection, who even play in the official hobby league of the Berlin Football Association under the name “Young Boys Berlin”, submitted their participation form.
Welcome back to SV Eintracht!

For a long time the tournament crew have weighed up, now there could be a much more favorable pandemic situation in the summer. It was therefore decided to intensify the preparations for the tournament and to send out the invitations at least once.
Certainly there will be restrictions, but nevertheless the organizational crew would like to give the large referee family a platform again to meet, play football and celebrate together. Of course, the hygiene concept specified by the host football club for the sportsground will have to be taken into account.
Negotiations are already underway with some of the FIFA referees from different continents who are to officiate the matches in the tournament – names will of course only be given once visas and flight tickets have been confirmed.
Further information about the event will be published here on the homepage, supported by reports on Facebook and Instagram.
