Last Monday we told MD that after 32 games none of the referees selected by FIFA for this World Cup in Qatar have made their debut yet. Both the three as field referees and the remaining three as assistants. On the one hand, the French are collegiate Stephanie Frappartthe Rwandan Salima Mukasanga and the Japanese Yoshimi Yamashita. The staff of assistants is made up of Brazilians Neiza came backthe Mexican Karen Diaz Medina and the american Kathryn Nesbitt.
A decision that also involved arbitration representation by five of FIFA’s six confederations. Only the OFC, the Confederation of Oceania, will not have a woman on the arbitration body. If there is one in the Asian (AFC), African (CAF), European (UEFA), South American (CONMEBOL) confederations and two in the case of North America (CONCACAF).
They had to spend 44 designated matches for FIFA to designate the first woman for a full women’s World Cup. Is about Stephanie Frappartundoubtedly the most mediatic of all, destined for another rivalry of the group of Spain from this Thursday in between Costa Rica Y Germany. The Frenchman will take another step in his great arbitration career. He rose to prominence in August 2019 when he was selected by UEFA to whistle the final of the men’s European Super Cup between Liverpool and the Chelsea which ended in a tie in two although since 2014 it has been participating in the French men’s league. His great leap for his country was in April 2019 when he jumped to Ligue 1 debuting in a Amiens-Strasbourg. Months later, she was promoted to the French first division, becoming the first woman to do so.
The two assistants are Neuza Back and Karen Diaz
At the international level, he has had the rosette since 2011. In 2018 he was the referee chosen by FIFA to whistle the final of the U-20 World Cup held in France against Spain Y Japanese. A year later, she whistled the final of the absolute women’s World Cup in between Holland Y USA. Last year he was selected as the best referee in the world by the IFFHS. She also whistled in the opening match and final of the 2015 Women’s World Cup. This is his second major event for the men’s teams after this summer he attended the men’s Euro Cup held in several countries, including Spain. Appointment where he always acts as the fourth collegiate, never making his debut as the main referee. Let’s not forget that he just blew the whistle at the Santiago Bernabéu in the Champions League.
frappart will be assisted by Brazilian maids Neuza is back and the Mexican Karen Diaz who will also debut in a men’s World Cup.
The Canadian is in the VAR room Drew Frischer and the French Jerome Brisard. Because the VAR assistant will be the third assistant appointed for this World Cup, the North American one Kathryn Nesbitt. Undoubtedly a historical fact because this Thursday, for the first time in history, three referees will participate in a match of a men’s match.
