A new opportunity to referee in the United States for all Referee Abroad referees.
The Bethesda Premier Cup, an elite event in the Northeast of the USA, will welcome 11 RA referees to the upcoming edition of their event, the 11 match officials will be accompanied by 2 mentors. It takes place near the nation’s capital (Washington DC) in Boyds, Maryland.
The tournament, articulated in two main weekend events, one for females and one for males, will offer referees from around the world the possibility of showcasing their qualities on the bigger stage and work games together with American officials. All participating referees will take part into both the female (10-12 November) and male (17-19 November) events. No option will be offered to do only one tournament.
