France's Stephanie Frappart became the first female official at a men's World Cup match when she was named the fourth official for Tuesday's Group C clash between Mexico and Poland in Doha, Qatar.
Frappart, Japan's Yamashita Yoshimi and Rwanda's Salima Mukansanga are the first women selected as referees for football's biggest tournament. They were among the 36 total referees for the event.
Brazil's Neuza Back, Mexico's Karen Diaz Medina and American Kathryn Nesbitt are among 69 assistant referees at the World Cup.
Frappart has set numerous landmarks in her career – she was the first woman referee to officiate the men's UEFA Super Cup (August 2019), in the Champions League (December 2020), and at the French Cup final (May 2022).
