On Sunday, for the first time in the French "Ligue 1" championship match, a female referee will lead the game. Stephanie Frappart has been appointed as the referee for the match between the teams of "Amiens" and "Strasbourg," and she has been working in the second most popular French football division since 2014. In 2020, France will host the Women's FIFA World Cup, so this will be a great opportunity for S. Frappart to test her skills in matches where the VAR system will be used. This will not be the first time that a female referee will work in the highest league in France. Nelly Viennot worked as a referee assistant from 1996 to 2007 in the country's top football division.
