Local Referee


The Kanga Cup is a great opportunity for registered young Referees or Game Leaders, particularly Capital Football registered Match Officials, to participate in the tournament. It is a chance to improve your skills with coaching provided throughout the week. It is also an opportunity to meet new match officials and share experiences.

A Local Referee includes:

  • A Capital Football registered Game Leader;
  • A Capital Football registered Referee with a strong focus on youth (13 – 20);
  • A Game Leader registered with a Member Federation or Referee Association.
  • A Referee registered with a Member Federation or Referee Association who has not been selected to participate in the Kanga Cup Referee Youth Academy (KCRYA.)

Referees and Game Leaders can now register for the Kanga Cup as a ‘Local Referee’ by completing the Local Referee Registration Form before 5pm Friday 3rd June.

Please contact referees@kangacup.com if you have any questions in relation to refereeing at the Kanga Cup.
