Independent support and advice for referees and referee mentors.

The Sovereign FA is independent.
We are not part of the English Football Association or any other county, regional, national or global administrative organisation. We are therefore not subject to oversight by any such body. We will, however, work with such organisations to promote the Beautiful Game and encourage people to get involved.

Helping our members both on and off the pitch.
Our motto is ‘Vincit qui se vincit’- He conquers who conquers himself.
We will support our members by offering them advice based on decades of experience and good old Common Sense. We will work with our members to discover how best we can help them get the most out of refereeing and mentoring.

Mental and physical wellbeing is important.
We encourage our members to look after their mental and physical health, to keep fit and to maintain a balanced diet. After all, you cannot hope to get the most out of your role in the Game without first looking after yourself.

Learning from people in other walks of life, both past and present.
We believe referees and mentors can learn a lot from men and women in a variety of different fields.

The Sovereign FA will not take part in any political messaging campaigns.
They have no place in football. We will not ask our members to ‘take a knee’ or to wear any message-related kit such as ‘rainbow laces,’ armbands or other symbols.
We do not deny our members their right to an opinion.

Authority comes from within.
We support the Sovereign Project, a global educational organisation dedicated to empowering people in an ever-changing world.
