Israel Football Federation claims to have made history in football. The Jews introduced the first transgender referee, Sapir Berman. "I always imagined myself as a woman, but I didn't know how to name it. Finally, I decided not to hide and show the world who I really am," explained the 26-year-old referee. However, S. Berman may not change football history - a similar case was reported in the English Premier League last month, but the identity of the referee was not revealed.
