Select Group Referees
From Infogalactic: the planetary knowledge core
The Select Group is a panel of professional football referees and assistant referees appointed by the Professional Game Match Officials Board (PGMOB) to officiate matches in the Premier League, as well as the Football League, FA Cup and Football League Cup. A number of the officials on the site have been selected to officiate in matches run by FIFA.[1] The panel was established in 2001, when referees in England became professional.[2]
