history this year by working games at a major men’s tournament for the first time in Qatar.
"As always, the criteria we have used is ‘quality first’ and the selected match officials represent the highest level of refereeing worldwide," said FIFA Referees Committee chairman Pierluigi Collina, who worked the 2002 World Cup final. "In this way, we clearly emphasize 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," Collina said.
