“It put a woman into every room of every person watching. It told viewers that women have a place in football, that they have authority and they can be athletic.” This is how @guardian_sport's Suzanne Wrack spoke about the historical moment when three women made World Cup history. Stéphanie Frappart, Neuza Back and Karen Díaz Medina were the first all-female officiating team for a men’s World Cup match, for Costa Rica v Germany. French referee Stéphanie Frappart who lead the team, tweeted after the match: “I sincerely appreciate this wonderful opportunity given to me to referee today's match between. I also want to thank everyone for their support in believing in me, even as a woman. It is truly an honour.” “Having Frappart standing in the middle of the pitch of the world’s biggest sporting tournament put a woman unavoidably centre stage.” Read @suzywrack's full piece by clicking the link in our bio.
