The NYC Premier Futsal League is looking for referees

The NYC Premier Futsal League is launching its inaugural season starting in December 2026 and is looking for highly motivated, high-quality referees. The season runs from December 2026 to the end of February 2027. Games will be played in venues located in Queens, Brooklyn, and Manhattan. The league is affiliated with the Cosmopolitan Junior Soccer League and is sanctioned through US Youth Futsal.

Anyone interested in becoming a referee for this league should contact stevenwowk@gmail.com about becoming US Soccer Futsal certified and getting into the referee pool.


The New York Soccer Referees Association mourns the loss of former NYSRA President, USSF National Referee & National Assessor Klaus Kleinstauber. Klaus became a life member of NYSRA in 2006. For more details about his life and his memorial service, please refer to this article from FrontRowSoccer.com
