Sian Massey-Ellis will create a piece of refereeing history on Thursday as she becomes the first English woman to officiate in a men's European fixture.
The Premier League regular will turn out as an assistant referee for the Europa League game between PSV Eindhoven and Linzer ASK.
She will join referee Chris Kavanagh, assistant Dan Cook and fourth official Peter Bankes at the Philips Stadium - PSV's home ground.
Massey-Ellis' landmark appointment follows Stephanie Frappart refereeing the UEFA Super Cup in August to become the first woman to take charge of a major men's European game.
Massey-Ellis, 34, told the FA about her latest call-up: 'It was really exciting when I found out.
'And I was obviously chuffed for Chris Kavanagh as well. In fact, when the appointment first came out, we tried to ring each other at the exact same moment and we both got each other's answerphone!
'But it's a big achievement for me personally, it's been a dream of mine to officiate in a European competition and I'm delighted to be able to tick it off.'
In August, Massey-Ellis added to her growing list of achievements as she became the first woman to officiate in the Community Shield, after being selected for the Liverpool vs Manchester City season-opener.
'I think that it's definitely becoming more normal to see female officials in the men's game,' she continued.
'Stephanie Frappart refereeing the Europa Super Cup was a big moment, ultimately it shouldn't matter what gender, race or religion anyone is, it's about going out there and doing your job as best you can.
'I don't think you could have wiped the smile off my face when I found out for a few days, but we all know that there's an important job to do when the whistle goes.'
