Referee Abroad is proud to announce a brand-new partnership with Surf Cup International by Global Soccer Alliance, one of the fastest-growing youth football tournaments in the world. The Surf Cup, already a household name in the United States, is now expanding internationally with editions in Europe, Asia, and Latin America.

For the very first time, international referees will be part of this exciting global competition — and Referee Abroad will be right at the heart of it. Our mission has always been to provide referees with opportunities to officiate abroad, gain experience in diverse football cultures, and be part of world-class events. Partnering with Surf Cup International is a perfect step in that direction.

“We are truly grateful to the Surf Cup International organizers for trusting us with this opportunity,” said Referee Abroad President Daniele Curcio. “It’s an honor to bring referees from around the world to such a prestigious youth tournament. We look forward not only to this first edition together, but to growing side by side with Surf Cup International in the years to come.”

This partnership means that referees with Referee Abroad will now have access to one of the most exciting stages for youth football, sharing the pitch with future stars and developing their refereeing skills in a highly competitive and international environment.
