From the Manly Warringah Football Referees Association to the A-Leagues – Congratulations, Tom Dale!
MWFA and MWFRA are proud to celebrate Tom Dale’s first A-League Men’s appointment at yesterday’s fixture between Perth Glory and Adelaide United in Perth!
A little about Tom:
Tom began his refereeing journey with the MWFRA in 2018 at just 14 years of age. Since then, he has continued to develop and achieve success, earning the following MWFRA awards:
2019 – Second Year Referee of the Year 2020 – U18 Referee of the Year 2024 – U21 Referee of the Year Tom was also the recipient of FNSW Referee of the Year for 2026
Alongside his Football NSW commitments, Tom continues to give back to local football, including officiating at this year’s Select Cup between MWFA and Manly United FC, pictured here.
Congratulations Tom! From everyone at MWFA, thank you for your dedication to the game. A well-deserved milestone, we can’t wait to see what’s next
