Frenchwoman Stephanie Frappart is set to become the first female official at the men’s European Championships this summer 2021.
Earlier this week, the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA) confirmed Frappart’s appointment, naming her as one of the 51-strong contingents. Even though Frappart is not officially named as one of the 18 match referees for the UEFA Champions League matches this year, she is expected to be either be a standby assistant referee or a fourth official.
Frappart has previously made history in the men’s game as the first female to ever referee a men’s Champions League game. She appeared at both a Ligue 1 match and a men’s World Cup qualifier.

Ljubljana – Slovenia’s Aleksander Äeferin, the president of the Union of European Football Associations (UEFA), said in an interview with commercial broadcaster POP TV last night that the Super League no longer existed, while the relations in European football had definitely changed.
“I think the Super League has never existed in the first place. There was an attempt at founding a kind of phantom league of the wealthy, which would be bound by no system, and would ignore the pyramid system of football in Europe, the tradition, culture and history,” he said.
Äeferin stressed he had known the project would be short-lived and this was confirmed on Tuesday evening when clubs started quitting the project.
