Rashpal Shergill

Rashpal has worked in primary and secondary education for over 20 years and is currently a primary school teacher in Kent. She started an unexpected journey into refereeing through volunteering at her children’s football games. She decided to officially take the Referee’s course to get qualified and inspire females and BAMH communities as there was very little representation in refereeing. As a Sikh and a female BAMREF, Rashpal celebrates her achievements with all communities. She made history in 2023 by becoming the first South Asian Female to referee at a Kent County Cup Final and was awarded an FA National Referee Recognition award in 2023 in the Refereeing in the Community category.
