(ANSA) - Rome, November 18 - Groundbreaking female referee
Stephanie Frappart has been assigned by UEFA to officiate
Tuesday's men's Under-21 European championship qualifier between

The 35-year-old French woman made history in August when she
became the first female to officiate a major UEFA men's
competition match - the 2019 Super Cup between Liverpool and
Chelsea.
In July she was in charge of the women's World Cup final in
which the USA beat the Netherlands 2-0.
She has also refereed Ligue-1 matches several times.
