Stéphanie Frappart will make history when she takes charge of Juventus and Dynamo Kyiv's Champions League clash in Turin on Wednesday.
France's Stéphanie Frappart will be the first woman to referee a men's Champions League match after being appointed to oversee Juventus' clash with Dynamo Kyiv.
Frappart makes history again after UEFA Super Cup first
Frappart refereed the 2019 Women's World Cup final between the United States and the Netherlands, before going on to take charge of Liverpool's meeting with Chelsea in the UEFA Super Cup.
It made her the first woman to officiate a game in a major UEFA men's competition, and now the 36-year-old – a regular Ligue 1 referee – is set to make history once again.
Juve face Kyiv in Turin on Wednesday, with progress to the last 16 already secured for Andrea Pirlo's side.
Frappart refereed her first Europa League fixture in October, when Leicester City took on Zorya Luhansk at the King Power Stadium, and last week ran the rule over Granada vs Omonoia Nicosia.
