We stand in solidarity with our Brothers and Sisters in @PSRAofficials. If the League won't uphold its own standards, who will protect the officials enforcing them?

Our statement regarding @MLSNEXTPRO and their handling of a recent disciplinary issue:
During a recent MLS NEXT Pro match, a male head coach committed two deliberate acts of physical abuse and sexism against a female official -- squeezing her hand and refusing to let go after being told to stop three times. This physical intimidation was compounded by a demeaning, sexist remark to the official: "Don't forget, this is a man's game." MLS NEXT Pro investigated and responded with a two-game suspension and other non-suspension discipline. U.S. Soccer policy states a “forceful grab” like this requires a minimum three-game suspension. Acts of discrimination also require a minimum three-game suspension. MLS NEXT Pro’s own manual also states that coaches are held to “a higher professional standard than players.” The League’s response falls drastically short of the right message to the participants, the referees, and the public. It needs to be reevaluated. Women make every level of this game better. They should not have to endure intimidation or degrading comments to prove it.

Labor Day is about more than a day off. It’s a day to recognize the people whose work keeps our communities, industries and country moving — and to remember that every worker deserves dignity, fairness and a voice on the job. Progress for working people happens when we stand together, look out for one another and believe that work should make our lives better. This Labor Day, PSRA stands with workers everywhere. Happy Labor Day!

It was a history-making summer for the PSRA Officials representing the US & Canada at the 2026 World Cup! The team of Ismail Elfath, Corey Parker, and Kyle Atkins became the most decorated American on-field crew when they officiated England vs. Argentina in the semifinal. They also became the first American crew to work multiple knockout round matches, taking charge of Norway vs. Brazil in the Round of 16, following 2 group stage games. Drew Fischer, Micheal Barwegen, and Lyes Arfa became the first Canadian trio to work a Men’s World Cup match when they officiated the France vs. Iraq group stage game in Philadelphia. The crew finished with 2 group stage matches and worked the highly entertaining Round of 32 matchup between Cabo Verde and Argentina. The crew of Tori Penso, Brooke Mayo, and Katy Nesbitt became the first all-female American crew to work a Men’s World Cup match when they took the field for Czechia vs. South Africa. The crew worked 2 group games, with Tori and Brooke also selected as 4th official and Reserve AR for 2 games, including the Round of 32 match between France and Sweden. Video Match Officials Armando Villarreal and Joe Dickerson combined for 25 assignments in the booth during the 2026 World Cup, including 13 knockout round matches. PSRA congratulates the 11 match officials who represented the United States and Canada at the 2026 FIFA World Cup for their performances!
