Touch Football Australia (TFA) has today announced the referees selected into the 2026-2027 National Referee Squad (NRS).
Selection into the NRS recognises each referee’s ongoing commitment to excellence and consistent performance at the highest level of Touch Football. The expansion of the NRS reflects TFA’s continued investment in officiating programs to better support and develop the nation’s leading officials.
The NRS continues to represent the pinnacle of TFA’s referee pathway, with its strength highlighted by the elevation of Hayden Drapalski, who has progressed from the National Youth Referee Squad to earn selection into the NRS as Referee #39.
TFA congratulates Hayden and all referees selected in the 2026-2027 NRS.
