Referee Opportunities and
Referees' Symposium
Referee Opportunities at the San Francisco Cup
Each year, the San Francisco Cup brings together seasoned referees and promising newcomers from all over the U.S. and around the world.
The annual Referee Symposium and Referee Field Clinic provide unique opportunities to learn from the most experienced referees in California North, the United States and the world.
If you are a young referee and have received recognition from your club or district, we want you here. Being one of our referees is a great opportunity for you to hone your skills and gain new insights from working alongside experienced referees. We assign excellent supporting assistants and provide opportunities for friendly feedback from the many assessors in attendance – all you need to do is ask. For more information, contact us or sign up to officiate in the next San Francisco Cup.

We are very excited to have as our featured guest this year Jose Maria Garcia-Aranda, former Spanish and FIFA international referee and currently the Head of Refereeing for FIFA. We have been trying to have Jose Maria join us for several years and now we finally have him. He has agreed to take a break from his very busy schedule and take the time, on a personal basis, to share his ideas and experiences with the referees of California North.
Mr. Garcia-Aranda will talk about what is going on currently in the world of refereeing from the FIFA point of view, preparations for the Olympics, Futsal WC, Confederations Cup as well as the men's world cup. He plans to also give a "test" on match situations.
