BE MY REFEREE
Inclusive arbitration and real opportunities
Be My Referee is an inclusive refereeing project that trains people with intellectual disabilities to become football referees. Driven by Down España, Fundación Mi Alex, and AGF, it combines training, mentoring, and real-world practice with the support of professional referees.
An initiative that opens new opportunities within the sport from an inclusive, professional and transformative perspective.
