Professional Game Match Officials Board

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Professional Game Match Officials Board (PGMOB), and since made a Limited Liability Company (PGMOL, or Professional Game Match Officials Limited), was formed when English football referees turned professional in 2001, specifically to provide match officials for all games played in the FA Premier League in England. The Board consists of the three governing bodies' Chief Executives and Referees Managers in addition to The FA's Head of Refereeing. The organisation is headed by Keith Hackett.

The PGMOB replaced the referees' National Review Board. Former FIFA referee Roger Milford commented at the time: "I am sure this will mean more consistency from the officials on points of law which cause controversy."[1]
