The Manitoba Football Officials Association was formally
established in 1951. Since that time it has been providing
tackle football officials to most leagues within the Province of
Manitoba. These leagues operate within the City of Winnipeg and
the surrounding area. At the present time, the MFOA provides
officials and timekeepers for players aged 15 years and above.
This includes local community club and high school leagues
through to senior players competing nationally at the
university, senior and junior levels. While we are an amateur
association, we strive to maintain the highest officiating
standards and thus conduct on-going training and development of
our football officials through the delivery of nationally
recognized training clinics. The MFOA is a member of the
Canadian Football Officials Association (CFOA), Football
Manitoba, and Football Canada. The CFOA coordinates national
training and development of officials through the production of
approving training materials and evaluation procedures. This
ensures consistent levels of expertise and procedures across the
country, which is critical when officials and teams travel from
one region to another. As well, the CFOA has the responsibility
of maintaining the approved rule book, and for coordinating
updates and changes to this book. It is a member of Football
Canada.
Football Manitoba is the governing body for football within
the province. It is ultimately responsible for administering all
aspects of the game here in Manitoba. It is an organization of
volunteers dedicated to the promotion of all those things that
lead to excellence and participation in the sport of Football.
Its main role is that of facilitator and arbitrator of football
related matters. Programs and services of Football Manitoba are
funded by Sport Manitoba. It is also a member of Football
Canada.
