Since its establishment in 1952, the Tasmanian Football Umpires Association (TFUA) has been a cornerstone of southern Tasmanian football, playing a crucial role in the officiating and organization of the sport. Every weekend, our dedicated members officiate over 128 AFL games, providing essential support to nearly 3,000 players located south of Oatlands. This commitment not only enriches the game but also fosters a vibrant sporting culture in the region.

The TFUA is a professionally managed and inclusive association, boasting a diverse membership of over 250 umpires ranging in age from 11 to 80 years old. We are united by core values of fairness, respect, integrity, and a deep commitment to the game we love. Umpiring is more than just a role; it’s an opportunity to gain confidence, stay active, develop valuable leadership skills, and contribute meaningfully to your community. Whether you’re a seasoned athlete or someone looking to embark on a new journey, umpiring provides a unique and rewarding pathway — and the TFUA is here to support you every step of the way.
