The Top Ref is an aspiring football and futsal referee who has been officiating since 2008. During his travels, he was able to witness the difficulty for referees in getting quality, affordable equipment. Simple basics couldn't just be found at your corner store let alone if they had anything refereeing-related!

He decided to help in the mission to equip referees around the planet to make their job on the field easier. The products you will find in the store will have The Top Ref's personal experiences and recommendations on them.

Since The Top Ref tends to travel a lot, the store makes appearances all around the world. The store headquarters is located in Vancouver, BC, Canada. We have a fulfilment centre in New York, NY, USA.
