„Es ist auch interessant beim Fußball, es ist immer noch ein Spiel. Stehste da einmal richtig, machst das Tor. Das sind genau diese Momente. Das Glück muss auf deiner Seite sein, da muss einfach so viel zusammenlaufen. [...] Es gibt auch Momente, wo ich sag, ‚Okay, wär vielleicht zu einem anderen Zeitpunkt besser gewesen.' Wenn ich ein bisschen älter gewesen wär, noch ein bisschen mehr Erfahrung. Aber im Nachgang– im Finale zu sein und zu spielen, ich mein, was gibt's Besseres für einen Fußballer?“

World Cup is a chance for women’s football to go mainstream in Brazil

The country’s passion for men’s football is well-known but 2027 could change the dynamics completely

Last month Brazil won the race to host the 2027 Women’s World Cup. The tournament is scheduled to open on 24 June of that year at the Maracanã, the venue for the finals for the 1950 and 2014 men’s editions. The Brazilian Football Confederation (CBF) is confident that hosting it will boost the women’s game in the country, attract new investment and increase public interest.

Brazil’s bid focused on sustainability, with all stadiums already meeting Fifa standards, having been built or renovated for the 2014 men’s World Cup. The organising committee promised free public transport for ticket holders on game days and will arrange official fan festivals, similar to those seen in Australia and New Zealand last year. The bid highlighted the “natural” passion for football in Brazil and emphasised the growth in the women’s game and the benefits for future generations of girls and women.

The CBF expects funding for the event to come from the private sector rather than government sources, addressing one of the major complaints regarding the 2014 men’s World Cup and the 2016 Olympics in Rio de Janeiro. Their goal is to have a self-sustainable tournament, with sponsors and the private sector paying for most of it, rather than relying on taxpayers’ money. Another selling point to Fifa was the low organisational cost compared with the joint bid from Belgium, the Netherlands and Germany.

Unlike the 2014 World Cup, which occurred during a period of political and economic uncertainty, with protests against the event, the 2027 event benefits from having the structure already in place. The benefits could be plentiful. Last year’s co-hosts Australia and New Zealand reported substantial benefits from hosting the tournament, including support for local events and increased participation of women and girls in physical activity.

Referee Stéphanie Frappart Will Lead First All-Woman Team at World Cup

Some 92 years after the first World Cup game was held in Uruguay, Stéphanie Frappart is set to become the first woman to be the lead referee during a men’s match at the tournament. Frappart, a French referee, has been appointed to a refereeing crew of all women during a decisive group stage game between Costa Rica and Germany on Thursday.

Frappart, 38, will lead alongside Neuza Back of Brazil and Mexico’s Karen Diaz Medina. It is a barrier-breaking moment which both coaches welcomed and suggested was overdue.

“I trust her 100 percent,” Germany’s manager, Hansi Flick, said of Frappart’s appointment. “I think she deserves to be here due to her performance and achievements.” Costa Rica’s manager, Luis Fernando Suárez, said the same during his prematch news conference.

“I am a great admirer of everything women have conquered,” he said. “And I like that they want to keep conquering things. And this is another step forward, especially in this sport, which is a very macho.”

Frappart told French reporters she considered her selection as lead referee “a surprise.” Still, she has had a stellar career for nearly two decades. A native of Le Plessis-Bouchard, a remote town in the far north of the Paris region, she officiated her first game in 2003 at age 19 — a women’s match between the Henin-Beaumont F.C. and La Roche-sur-Yon. Within two decades, she was overseeing a Women’s World Cup final.

Since then, she climbed the ladder like no woman before her, racking up accolades. In 2014, she became the first woman to be lead referee during a men’s Ligue 2 game, in France’s second division. She then refereed games in men’s Ligue 1, during international friendlies and in the Champions League.

On Aug. 14, 2019, Frappart also became the first woman to referee the UEFA Super Cup between Chelsea and Liverpool. After the game, Jürgen Klopp, the Liverpool coach, praised her performance.

“If we would have played like they whistled, then we would have won, 6-0,” he said.

Frappart’s also refereed the Women’s World Cup final in 2019, when the United States beat the Netherlands to cap a tournament that was a major public forum for the U.S. team’s fight for equal pay and treatment from its national federation.

Pierluigi Collina, the chairman of the FIFA referee committee who is known for being tough on colleagues, has high praise for Frappart. “I hope that there will be more Frapparts in the future and that this will no longer constitute an oddity or news story,” Collina told the Italian press in 2021. At the Globe Soccer Awards in 2019, Frappart won an award as best referee and Collina handed her the trophy.

Frappart told French reporters that she was “aware” that her presence in the tournament is “going to inspire.” But she would prefer to let her whistle do the talking.

“I don’t want to be judged differently because of my gender but because of my refereeing skills,” she said.

In Qatar, Stephanie Frappart has already officiated as fourth referee for two matches during the group phase, when Mexico faced Poland and Portugal played Ghana.
