Refereeing football matches by women has become a new social phenomenon. With an objective of identifying it a survey research was carried out in February 2011 among 63 women from training center involved in refereeing. Research has shown that interest in arbitering occurs mainly at the age of 16-18 years, and the initiators of such an interest are mainly fathers or other members of the family. It should be noted that almost all women refereeing the games have a higher education, mainly in the direction of physical education. An important issue is the very high rate of acceptance of their interests by persons from their immediate environment. The biggest problem at that point at the very start of refereeing is the fear of making a mistake in the match. Almost all of the researched indicated a good environment for learning English.
