French referee Stephanie Frappart became the first woman to officiate a FIFA World Cup men’s match Thursday.
Frappart, 38, is assisted in the Costa Rica and Germany match by two female officials — Brazil’s Neuza Back and Karen Diaz from Mexico.
FIFA assigned the all-female trio to the Group E match on Tuesday at Al Bayt Stadium.
Frappart was also the first woman to referee a French top-tier Ligue 1 and UEFA Champions League match.
