The 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar will see many referees on the pitch over the next month, including three women referees Stephanie Frappart of France, Yoshimi Yamashita of Japan and Salima Mukasanga of Rwanda.
“I think it’s a huge moment when you can have female referees at the World Cup for the first time,” soccer journalist Grant Wahl told NBC Sports. “I can’t wait until it’s no longer news-making or history-making, but it still is at this point.”
“In this way, we clearly emphasize that it is quality that counts for us and not gender,” the organization said in its. “I would hope that in the future, the selection of elite women’s match officials for important men’s competitions will be perceived as something normal and no longer as sensational.”
Frappart brings high-level World Cup experience to the table. Along with men’s qualifying matches, the UEFA Champions League and the French Cup final, Frappart refereed the 2019 Women’s World Cup Final between the U.S. women’s national team and the Netherlands.
