Female referees will make history at the Qatar World Cup later this year with three selected to officiate for the first time in the men’s competition.
“In this way, we clearly emphasise that it is quality that counts for us and not gender. I would hope that in the future, the selection of elite women’s match officials for important men’s competitions will be perceived as something normal and no longer as sensational. Three women are also on the list of 69 assistant referees – Neuza Back from Brazil, Karen Diaz Medina from Mexico and Kathryn Nesbitt from the United States.There was also good news for English referees Michael Oliver and Anthony Taylor as both were selected, having both been involved at Euro 2020 also.It follows years of heavy criticism of the system since its introduction in the English top flight, and the officials behind it making the decisions.
