Stephanie Frappart will be the first woman to referee at a men’s World Cup in Thursday’s group-stage game between Costa Rica and Germany.
The 38-year-old Frenchwoman will be joined by assistant referees Brazil’s Neuza Back and Mexican Karen Diaz Medina at Al Bayt Stadium, forming the first all-female on-field officiating team in the history of the tournament.
She is one of three female referees selected to officiate in the tournament, the first time it has happened in a men’s World Cup.
Having female referees at the World Cup helps send a positive message over women’s rights in Qatar, Stephanie Frappart has said.
