It will be another achievement in the great career of this 32 -year -old referee from Palencia who lives in college in Tenerife. The most obvious symptom of their options is in this season’s assignments to whistle for matches in the Women’s Champions League. In the same week she also convened a meeting of the qualifying phase of the countries for the next women’s European Championship.

Just a few weeks ago, he became the first Spanish referee to call a match against VAR when directing the Champions League quarter-final clash between Bayern Munich and PSG.

In August 2020, less than two years ago, she had already made history by being promoted to the ELITE group of UEFA referees, the highest level of women’s refereeing. He is the only member of our country who has reached this select group.

September 15, 2019 is already a historic day in his career. That day, his Segunda B debut took place when he whistled in the match on the fourth day of the Group 1 League between Getafe CF ‘B’ and SCR Peña Deportiva; being the first woman to debut in Second B, a category that has since replaced the First Women’s Division.

There will be a VAR throughout the competition

Moreover, Marta is with Guadalupe Porras in international matches, another woman in our football history, because in the summer of 2019 she became the first woman to be promoted to the First Men’s Division as an assistant. In addition, in October 2020, he took another step through management to participate as an assistant in a men’s Europa League match with referee Xavier Estrada Fernández. Specifically on October 29 in a duel between LASK and Ludogorest.
