About U.S. Soccer National Match Officials and National Camp
National Match Officials have an interest in refereeing professional matches and representing US Soccer on the national stage. These officials primarily work adult matches at the amateur, semi-professional, and professional levels working with regional, other national match officials, and PRO officials. National match officials are also utilized to work the Lamar Hunt U.S. Open Cup tournament. Achieving a National Match Official License places an official among the top 1% of all referees in the United States.
Officials that are selected to attend National Camp participate in classroom trainings and field sessions led by National Referee Coaches, PRO Instructors, and U.S. Soccer Referee Department Leadership. National candidates also complete the FIFA Fitness Test for their track. National Candidates are selected to attend one of the three, three (3) day camps at the Chula Vista Elite Athlete Training Center in Chula Vista, California. This year’s National Camps took place, Camp 1: December 6 – 8, 2024, Camp 2: December 9 – 11, 2024, and Camp 3: December 13 – 15, 2024.
Congratulations to Kyle and we look forward to the knowledge and experience that he brings with him to New Hampshire and his fellow referees!
