We wish to extend best wishes and good luck to the 11 programs that make up OUA football, and best of luck to the 53 officials and 8 supervisors that make up the OUA officiating staff. Stay free of injuries and have a great season!
On behalf of the OFOA we extend sincere condolences to Mr. Black's family and friends on his passing.
This coming weekend will see 55 of our fellow football officials from across the province travel to London to officiate the twelve U14, U16, and U18 Ontario Summer Football League finals at Western University.
The on-field officials will be supervised and evaluated by members of the @OUAsport football officiating group who have volunteered their time. Best of luck and safe travels to the officials, athletes, coaches, support staff, family and friends. To the officials...Be Great!
55 of our members hard at work getting ready for the season!
The @OUAsport football officials pre-season meeting is under way at the U of Guelph. Many thanks for the hospitality. Its great to talk OUA football once again!
Due to air quality issues, all OSFL games have been canceled for tonight. These games and others that may be impacted tomorrow will be rescheduled. Contact your local assinger for any details on the rescheduled games.

Correcting errors......DYK the #1 reason that amateur football officials quit is because of the abusive behaviour of spectators. This includes the parents of young players. Remember if we have no officials, there can be no games. Be Better!

On behalf of the executive of the Ontario Football Officials' Assoc. I extend best wishes to all amateur football officials across the province as we embark on the OSFL season. Take care of yourself and others on the field and remember - Clear, Obvious and Impactful! Be great!!
The 26th annual Fox40 Football Officials Camp is underway in Burlington. A clinic for amateur football officials from across the country. A full day of information sharing from CFL and OUA football officials. The season is upon us!
Congrats to Ron! Former president and long time executive member of the Lakeshore Football Officials Association and a presence for many years across the province officiating amateur football at all levels up to and including the OUA. Recognition so well deserved!👏👏👏

All 17 football officials' associations across the province are recruiting new officials! If interested email [email protected] and our V.P. will put you in contact with the association in your area.
It is with deep sorry that we lost long time former OFOA President Murray Taylor yesterday. Murray was on the scenes for decades as an official on the football fields and lacrosse venues across the country. Our deepest sympathies to his family. RIP Murray!
The OFOA is saddened by the passing of our former long time Treasurer Paul Holk . Paul was a stalwart member of the Lakeshore Football Officials Assoc. for over 50 years and a well respected official across the province. Our condolences to Paul's family. RIP #9.
The executive of the OFOA would like to extend seasons greetings to our member associations, all football officials, and our partner groups across the province. Our wish is for a safe and healthy holiday season. We shall see you on the field in the new year!

With the unanimous passing of the Private Member’s Bill, the first week of October in each year will now officially be celebrated as 'Ontario University Athletics Week' in the province! 👏
Thank you to MPP @BrianSaunderson for championing this bill and the important contributions of #OUA student-athletes and coaches across Ontario!
