In 2000 the English Football Association introduced professional referees by appointing a Select Group who officiates in the FA Premier League as well as other competitions. According to the association's website, referees in this group receive an 'annual retainer' of £33,000 plus match fees for their commitment to training and development over several days each month in addition to their match commitments. Including match fees this could amount to over £60.000 a year. By many standards this is considered a well-paid job that should be able to provide the referees with a decent living but they are still allowed to pursue other careers outside the refereeing business. According to Ian Blanchar, Head of National Referee Development, only a small group of referees do not have other jobs and are reliant on being a referee for income. Even though this suggests that most of the Select Group referees are in fact not full-time professionals, it should be mentioned that the Premier League is one of the few major leagues were Play the Game's research did not pick up signs of match-fixing.

Anything from £30,000 to £60,000 depending on match fees and how much work they do in community and development projects.
