Stephanie Frappart
French Football Referee
Stephanie Frappart is a French football referee and has been on the FIFA International Referees List since 2009.
She became the first female referee to officiate a men’s Ligue 1 match and has now been promoted to join the pool of Ligue 1 referees on a permanent basis for the 2019/20 season.
Earlier this year, Stephanie Frappart was appointed to referee the FIFA Women’s World Cup final between the United States and the Netherlands in Lyon as well as the 2019 UEFA Super Cup between Liverpool and Chelsea on 14 August.
UEFA president Aleksander Ceferin said: “I hope the skill and devotion that Stéphanie has shown throughout her career to reach this level will provide inspiration to millions of girls and women around Europe and show them there should be no barriers in order to reach one’s dream.”
