    • What's Needed to Become a Referee?

    Here’s how much the Betway PSL referees and officials earn per month. PSL referees make various amounts based on their role for each match they officiate in the premier league.

    We’ll also show you steps to take to become a professional referee in the top league in South Africa.

    It’s always interesting to read about how much money soccer players get paid each month. And it makes you wonder, how much do coaches and referees make in between?

    Without wasting your time, let’s dive right in.

    Betway PSL Referee Salary in 2024

    Without further ado, here’s how much PSL referees make per game:

    • Referee: R6,100.00
    • Assistants: R4,700.00

    They get paid the same amount for league and cup competition matches. PSL also covers travelling costs for match officials on the game day.

    So, let’s do simple calculations…

    If a referee officiates 4 games in a month, they’ll get approximately R24,400 and assistants would take home R18,800. However, officials and referees might get up to 12 matches (league/cup) in one month which can go up to R73,200 per month.

    And, the Nationa First Division (NFD) currently known as the Motsepe Foundation Championship, officials and referees earn R3,809.38 per month before tax while their assistants also take R2,515.63 per match.

    Match commissioners in the premier league will now be rewarded with R4,056.25 for the game while those handling the NFD take R3,987.50 before tax.

    Benefits and Allowances

    Professional referees in the Dstv PSL receive match fees for every game they officiate. The amount paid varies depending on the league and the importance of the match. According to CoMoney, a Premier League referee can earn up to R10,000 per match, while a National First Division (NFD) referee can earn up to R5,000 per match.

    Being a referee is a lucrative job that doesn’t require much other than the highest level of fitness, laws of football, and the ability to make the right game decisions instantly.

    In addition to match fees, referees also receive bonuses for officiating in cup competitions such as the Nedbank Cup and Telkom Knockout. These bonuses can range from R5,000 to R20,000, depending on the stage of the competition and the importance of the match.

    What’s Needed to Become a Referee?

    Are you considering becoming a referee for a part-time job?

    You might know some of the officials and referees in the premier league have other professions they attend to such as educating/teaching, policemen, doctors, and so on.

    Here’s what the South African Football Association wants for you to qualify to become a referee.

    You must join the Local Football Association in your area for at least 1 year – a very important step to becoming a professional referee. Then you’ll move with the ranks of officiating matches and your next step is joining the regional and provincial associations for 3 years. And in your 4th and 5th years, you’ll then be eligible for working for the National Football Association.

    Reading and writing are compulsory, as well as a good understanding of English for communication purposes.

    Once you have joined and meet the above criteria, you’ll be required to take competency assessments by the PSL.

    Officials have to take regular fitness tests.
