Doha: In the Qatar World Cup, which has already made history as a sporting phenomenon that gives more opportunities to women, all the referees who officiate a match are women. History will be born on Thursday when all the people who control the whistle and flag in the men’s soccer battle will be women. With one loss and one draw behind, Germany’s knockout dreams will feature Frenchwoman Stephanie Frapart in the final group match. This is the first time that a woman will be the referee in the Men’s World Cup. Frapart was the fourth umpire in the last Mexico-Poland match.
They will be joined by Brazil’s Nuez Back and Mexico’s Caron Diaz in Thursday’s fight. The match will be played at Albait Stadium.
Frapart also refereed the 2020 Men’s Champions League match. Prior to that, in the 2019 European Super Cup, Frapart first refereed the top men’s competition by blowing the whistle in the Liverpool-Chelsea match. Along with the 38-year-old, Salima Mukansanka from Rwanda and Yoshimi Yamashita from Japan are also referees in this World Cup.
