We officially invite referees from around the world to participate in the Dana Cup, Hjørring 21-26 July 2025.
At the Dana Cup, we like to use "Cup Referees". A “Cup Referee”, is a referee who has accommodation with us the whole week.
This gives you the opportunity to be social with the other referees from all around the world, while enriching your Dana Cup experience. It also gives us the opportunity to be more flexible when appointing referees to the matches.
Referee selection process
Dana Cup will open up for Referee Registrations from the 15th of September 2024 through to the 28th of February 2025, we will pick 200 referees between this timeline. If we need more referees after this time we will continue with the registrations from the 1st of May 2025. Former Dana Cup referees will always have priority.
Referees must be over 15 years of age to participate.
