What is the Iowa FIFA Club?
The Iowa FIFA Club is a select group of the best referees in Iowa. Each of these individuals has shown the potential to reach the status of National/FIFA Referee. The group is set up to encourage members to work together in training and travel to tournaments in order to improve as referees and recieve advance training.

The individuals in the group have each made a commitment to hard work and being open to mentoring from other referees that know the issues they will face as they advance in their refereeing endeavor. They all have the right personality, fitness, knowledge of the game, and attitude to make it to the highest level. This group also serves to identify those who other referees should be watching if they want to see what it takes to make it, or simply to improve their own officiating. The group tries to take all the tools they have and to fine tune them to help them through a great journey.

The membership of this group changes due to changing personal goals, as well as members reaching their peak advancement. Referees in this group realize, that like the matches they are being assigned, their membership is performance based (vertical integration, up in level and down in level).

We are always in search of the next group of up and comers to become members of the FIFA Group. These names come from many sources; Club assignors, associations, assessors, and other referees. Each of these is asked to identify those who may have what it takes to advance in the refereeing world. Once identified, the Up and Comers are asked to go to different tours and camps to be seen by the staff.

If you know of someone that you think is one of the best referees in your area of Iowa, please let us know via this brief form.
