Five Canadians to officiate at Women’s World Cup
Five Canadians have been named as match officials for this summer’s FIFA Women’s World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
“As always, the criteria we have used is ‘quality first’ and the selected on-field match officials represent the highest level of refereeing worldwide,” said former referee Pierluigi Collina, who chairs the committee. FIFA says it started looking at possible tournament officials back in 2020, with more than 170 candidates.
The list includes France’s Stephanie Frappart, who became the first female referee to take charge of a match at the men’s World Cup when she handled the Dec. 1 Costa Rica-Germany game in Qatar. Frappart’s assistant referee tandem of Brazil’s Neuza Back and Mexico’s Karen Diaz is also headed to the Women’s World Cup.
