Professional Game Match Officials Limited

The Professional Game Match Officials Limited (PGMOL) formerly known as the Professional Game Match Officials Board (PGMOB), was formed when English association football referees turned professional in 2001, specifically to provide match officials for all games played in the Premier League, Football League & FA Competitions in England.

The organisation consists of the three governing bodies' Chief Executives and Referees Managers in addition to The FA's Head of Refereeing. They are tasked with the responsibility of developing excellence in officiating in the English game at professional level. The Select Group Referees, primarily officiate in the Premier League, Football League Cup & FA Cup and will also occasionally referee in the Football League

The top-flight referees are continually monitored at games and attend fortnightly meetings in which, amongst other matters, their performances, via the use of ProZone, are evaluated.

The Select Group Referees meet twice per month for training sessions and analysis of match videos.

The PGMOL have their own sports scientists, sports psychologists, physiotherapists, sprint coaches, podiatrists and vision scientists which mirror football clubs to help improve referee performance.

All training sessions and games are carefully scrutinised thanks to the aid of Polar Heart Monitors.

Every PGMOL referee is evaluated by a former senior referee to measure their technical performance, along with fellow players and managers (match delegates) who assess accuracy and consistency of their decision making and management of their game.

The PGMOL changed its sponsorship for the 2010/11 season from Air Asia to its parent group, 'Tune Group'.
