If the Bleues have maintained their bad habits by failing in the quarter -finals of the Euro, eliminated on penalties by Germany, there will be a French in the final on Sunday. Stéphanie Freppart was indeed designated by UEFA to arbitrate the Spanish-England match.
Fourth referee in the Euro final in 2022 and during the 2019 World Cup, Stéphanie FRAPPART will be this time a main arbitrator and will be surrounded by two other French people, Camille Soriano at the Touche and Willy Delajod in video assistance. Two Italians will complete the quartet: Francesca di Monte and Maria Sole Ferrieri Caputi.
“I am very happy to have been selected to arbitrate the final of the Women's Euro. It is a great honor and a great pride after a magnificent tournament ”, She reacted. If the designation of the Ile -de -France was welcomed by the Federation, the Spanish press has moved from its appointment.
Mundo Deportivo Balance on Stéphanie FRAPPART
THE Mundo Deportivo did not fail to recall that the tricolor referee was the cause of a particularly controversial decision during this euro. After having officiated during the two Final-Suisse and Germany-Pologne group meetings, Stéphanie FRAPPART also arbitrated the quarter-final between Norway and Italy.
But during this match, the Frenchwoman had granted a penalty to Norway following a contact between Elena Linari and Ada Hegerberg. However, the Norwegian was clearly in the offside position. If this decision had remained without consequence, the former Ballon d'Or missing the frame, the Basque daily sees in Stéphanie struck the“Scandal referee” and consider that his decision constitutes “One of the most controversial moments in European championship”.
“As the ball was played, the Norwegian striker number 14 was in a offside position. However, the restraint offense took place while the ball was still in the air, out of reach of the players, and the attacker did not actively participate in the game at that time. Consequently, the position of offside was not sanctioned ”however, had justified UEFA in a press release.
