UEFA have announced that Stephanie Frappart will be the first woman to referee a men's game in one of its competitions.
Frappart has been appointed to take of charge of Chelsea vs Liverpool in the European Super Cup final later this month.
The Frenchwoman, who refereed FIFA Women's World Cup final between the United States and Holland last month, will also lead a team of predominately female officials for the showpiece clash in Istanbul.
She will be accompanied by her compatriot Manuela Nicolosi and Michelle O'Neal from the Republic of Ireland who will be the assistant referees for the match while the fourth official will be Turkey's Cuneyt Cakir.
Frappart officiated with both Nicolosi and O'Neal during the Women's World Cup in Lyon back in July.
'I have said on many occasions that the potential for women's football has no limits and I am delighted that Stephanie Frappart has been appointed to officiate at this year's UEFA Super Cup along with assistant referees Manuela Nicolosi and Michelle O'Neal,' said UEFA President Aleksander Ceferin on Friday.
