The United Premier Soccer League (UPSL) is proud to introduce its Referee Respect Campaign, a league-wide initiative reinforcing the critical role referees play in the game. Match officials are essential to maintaining fairness, integrity, and structure on the field, yet too often they face unnecessary risks simply for doing their job. When frustration is directed at referees, the entire soccer community suffers. As part of this initiative, UPSL is reaffirming its zero-tolerance stance on referee abuse, misconduct between opposing teams, and any form of racism or discriminatory language at any level of play. These standards align with updated guidance under U.S. Soccer Federation Policy 531-9, which outlines minimum penalties for both physical and non-physical abuse against referees.
