Referees To Benefit From BFA Relief Funds

BFA Chief Executive Officer, Mfolo Mfolo explained that the association has just over 500 referees who will all benefit. He said all the referees are included in both the government and FIFA relief funds. Mfolo also said almost half of the match officials depend solely on match days while some have day jobs.

 Per premier league game, a team of match officials is paid P4, 000. The team is made up of match referees, assistant referees and an assessor who get paid P800 each while officials in the First Divisions league are paid P180 each with officials in regional league walking away with P100 per game. Mfolo however warned that the individual referees could be paid slightly lower than their usual pay.
