Eve of Final Rally 2019 - 17th May

Spaces are limited so make sure you book early

Eve of Final Rally is a celebration of the appointments of the match officials to the FA Cup Final. Having first taken place in 1914, the event allows members of the Referees' Association and guests to meet those taking charge of the pinnacle of the domestic season in England.

Taking place on Friday 17th May 2019, the day before the FA Cup final, the event also offers a great opportunity to meet up with fellow colleagues and those who have previously taken charge of the FA Cup Final. Beginning with a development session, lead by the Fourth Official, Reserve Assistant, VAR Referee and the VAR Reserve Assistant Referee, a guest speaker will also address those present before the 2019 FA Cup Final match officials take to the stage.

The venue for the event is RAF Bentley Priory Museum, Mansion House Drive, Stanmore, HA7 3HT.

Registration is from 6.00pm and the development session begins at 6.15pm. The main event will begin at 7.15pm.

The event costs £5.00 for members of the Referee's Association and £20.00 for non-members. The £5.00 ticket fee includes a set of raffle tickets for a prize draw on the evening and a programme signed by the 2019 FA Cup Final Match Officials. Guests can be added on at the end of the booking form once it has been completed for the first person. Those under the age 18 must be accompanied by a parent or guardian.

If you have any questions, please contact events@the-ra.org and a member of the team will respond as soon as is possible.
