The French Stephanie Frappart has been appointed to lead the Costa Rica-Germany match this Thursday, corresponding to the third day of the group stage of the Qatar 2022 World Cup.
The French referee, who had been the fourth referee in the Mexico-Poland and Portugal-Ghana matches, will thus become the first woman in history to direct a match in a men’s World Cup.
Frappart, thus adding one more notch to its book of records in the arbitration world, will have the Brazilian Neuza Back and the Mexican Karen DÃaz Medina as linesmen at the Al Bayt stadium in Al Khor.
The fourth referee will be the Honduran Said MartÃnez; the VAR the Canadian Drew Fischer; the AVAR the Frenchman Jerome Brisard; the VAR for offside the American Kathryn Nesbitt; and the support to the VAR the Italian Massimiliano Irrati.
