The verdict fell for Stéphanie FRAPPART. In charge of the Var on Sunday evening, during the closing match of the 4e
Ligue 1 day between Stade Rennais and Olympique Lyonnais (3-1), the 41-year-old referee distinguished himself by making a controversial decision to say the least.
At the 17the Minute of the meeting, Rennais Anthony Rouault was the author of a very ugly sole on the Tibia of Lyonnais Khalis Merah. If the referee on the ground, Rudy Buquet, whistled for lack, he did not leave a card. At the controls of the Var, Stéphanie FRAPPART strangely reinforced the decision of her colleague, while the card was essential.
In his desire for more transparency around arbitration decisions, the French Football Federation has published an extract from the analysis of Rouault's fault on Merah of that which was appointed best referee in the world in 2023. ” For me, it's good. It's high but for me it doesn't stay, it slips. It's good for me “She told Mr. Buquet from the Var.
Strike with the whistle this Sunday
Since the broadcast of this sequence, Stéphanie FRAPPART has been rallied on social networks. The national arbitration department regretted that the video assistant did not challenge the central referee to go and view the images of the sole. And one could imagine that a sanction was taken against the native of Val-d'Oise. It will ultimately not be.
This Sunday, FRAPPART will be at the whistle of the match of the 5e Ligue 1 day opposing AS Monaco to FC Metz, at the Louis II stadium (5:15 p.m.). She will be assisted by Mikael Bercehbru and Aurélien Drouet, while Aurélien Petit will be in charge of the Var.
