FA’s Sue Campbell defends quality of officiating in WSLFA launches four-year strategy for women’s
Football Baroness Sue Campbell, the director of women’s football at the Football Association, has conceded there is no timeframe for the introduction of full-time professional referees in the women’s game between now and 2024.
The quality of refereeing in the Women’s Super League has been heavily criticised this season. On Sunday the Brighton forward Kayleigh Green was shown two yellow cards but the referee Lucy Oliver failed to issue a red, and the player remained on the pitch for the duration of the match despite
protests from Everton.
