ANKARA: Stephanie Frappart said she will prove that female officials are as competent as their male counterparts when she becomes the first woman to referee a major UEFA competition final when Liverpool face Chelsea in the Super Cup on Wednesday.

Asked if she was afraid of being"double criticized" for any mistakes made, Frappart said it was time for female referees to show they are as good as the men. Frappart, who in April became the first female referee in France's Ligue 1, also dismissed the idea that it was more difficult to officiate a men's game."I think there is not a lot difference because football is the same. It's the same rules so I will do the same as the women's game," she added.
