REFEX : News

Football only for men? 'No way, José!' (12.04.2024) Amelia (17 - Norway) and Jana (34 - Germany). These are two brave ladies who have now found a taste for traveling abroad. Both have completed their first foreign tournament with REFEX. Neither missed their start. We had not yet returned from Almere and they were both already registered for the next edition and if that were not enough, they will both come with us to other tournaments! That did not simply pass by in their region. The local press picked that up. Read their story below. Maybe you would also like to come abroad with us? If you have any questions or are interested, you can always contact us via Social Media, our WhatsApp channel or directly with your tournament leader. Be like Amelia and Jana, travel with us and bring the world together in sports. We promise lots of fun and, above all, the very best friendships in the world!

Merry Christmas! (27.12.2023)
Thanks to volunteers! (05.12.2023) On this special day we would like to thank everyone who helps us practice our hobby every day. In addition to competing, they also ensure that we can soak up the atmosphere abroad. All volunteers at REFEX are busy every day planning tournaments, maintaining contacts and preparing trips. Thanks to all the volunteers, we cannot only compete, but also make the best friendships in life. Because that's what it's all about. Every volunteer at REFEX does it for you, for us. Today is their holiday - Happy International Volunteer Day!
Staff meeting Oct '23 (24.11.2023) Every year a physical meeting of our staff takes place in a different place in the world. Last year it took place in Antwerp, this year in October everyone was invited to beautiful Łódź in Poland. Our home for that weekend was the ibis Lodz Centrum (hanks for the fantastic hospitality!). On Friday everyone arrived at a different time and an optional dinner followed for those already present. The conference took place on Saturday. The staff discussed all the tournaments of the past year, as well as the future. It was a very educational meeting that lasted a good 9 hours. Then we switched to the Novotel for a typical Polish dinner and the evening (or night) ended with some typical Polish drinks. On Sunday, a walk through the city was organized and the group present was allowed to try to escape from two Escape rooms. They both succeeded (even though it was very close). On Sunday evening a closing dinner took place in a Mediterranean restaurant. On Monday morning everyone returned home. Our thanks to everyone from the staff who were able to attend, but also to the friends who were able to make time to participate in some of the activities. This shows that our group is more than just the staff. Where we are going next year remains a secret for a while... at least for the general public. We are really looking forward to seeing you all again soon and continue what our good friend Michael started: bringing the world together in sports. Have you already taken a look at our page and applied for one of the available tournaments? Be sure to contact one of the staff if you would like more information.

R.I.P. Michael Wiecha (24.07.2023) Very sad news has reached us. Michael Wiecha, well known among our friends as the man who was especially keen on going to American tournaments, is no more. Michael found his way to REFEX in 2005 with his first tournament in Norhalne and has traveled the world with us ever since. He was loved by colleagues and has also been a staff member for many years and our representative in the Berlin - Brandenburg region. Words are not enough. Thanks for everything. Thank you for letting us spend time with you in Norhalne in May. We will never forget you! <3
Travel with us to Iceland! (05.04.2023) Have you ever been to Iceland? Besides the wonderful landscape and the friendly people, the largest youth tournament in the country is organized in the capital. We would like to invite you to participate in the ReyCup. A tournament for boys, but especially where girls are also expressed. More than half are women's teams! In the coming edition, the tournament will have many national, but also well-known international names. Don't hesitate, check out our website and sign up. We promise you: at the Rey Cup Iceland our referees will not be short of anything. The hospitality our Icelandic friends provide, is the best you can get! Information and applications: REFEX.org/ReyCup
