Georgia Ball on what it takes to be a top-level official

Georgia Ball on what it takes to be a top-level official

Rachel’s back with a bonus episode, where she’s joined by WSL assistant referee, Georgia Ball!


As an assistant referee in the WSL and a Championship referee, Georgia is part of the next generation of women at the forefront of the changing landscape across the women’s game. She chats to us about how officiating has changed as the game grows, dealing with the pressures and scrutiny that comes with that growth, and how many top refs still have to balance their commitments with working other jobs. It's a fascinating conversation with someone right at the heart of the game at the very highest level!
