PFRA Annual Award Winners

The PFRA Annual Awards recognise excellence by Australian referees in five categories, all voted upon by their peers, and are designed to reflect performances on the field as well as off-field contributions such as training commitment, leadership qualities and overall dedication to the role of an elite match official.

The awards are contested in two categories, focusing on the A-League as well as performances on the international stage in AFC and FIFA competitions.
