Frappart makes history as first female referee in men's Champions League

Stephanie Frappart became the first woman to referee a men's Champions League match when she took charge of a 3-0 victory for Juventus against Dynamo Kyiv. 

The French official had previously taken charge of the 2019 UEFA Super Cup between Liverpool and Chelsea and is a regular referee in the French men's top division, Ligue 1.

Considered the best current referee in the women's game, Frappart was part of the team of officials at the 2015 FIFA Women's World Cup and would go on to be the referee for the 2019 World Cup final between the USA and Netherlands.
