Stéphanie Frappart appointed to UEFA referees committee | OneFootball

Stéphanie Frappart has been appointed to UEFA’s referees committee by the European body’s executive committee. UEFA confirmed the move in a statement on Thursday.

An international referee since 2010, she has taken charge of more than 100 UEFA matches and will sit on the committee chaired by Italian Roberto Rosetti.

In this role, she will contribute to the strategic development of refereeing across Europe. The brief also covers referee appointments, performance review, technical advice and the ongoing development of match officials for UEFA competitions.

In 2019, aged 35, Frappart became the first woman to referee a Ligue 1 match, Amiens against Strasbourg. Later that year she handled the UEFA Super Cup between Liverpool and Chelsea, the first woman to oversee a men’s UEFA final.

At the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, she became the first woman to referee at a men’s World Cup, leading an all-female officiating team for Costa Rica against Germany in the group stage.

She has also refereed the 2019 Women’s World Cup final.
