UEFA's head of refereeing defends decision to put Stephanie Frappart in charge of Super Cup final

Daily Mail  

Roberto Rossetti, UEFA’s head of refereeing, has robustly defended the decision to appoint Stephanie Frappart to officiate the European Super Cup final and insisted there is no risk. Frappart is the top official in the women’s game and took charge of the World Cup final in July. UEFA have defended their decision to put Stephanie Frappart in charge of the Super Cup final The question comes about whether she has enough experience to be awarded this responsibility but Rossetti, who succeeded Pierliugi Collina, made it clear that are no concerns whatsoever about Frappert or her assistants, compatriot Manuela Nicolosi and Ireland’s Michelle O’Neill and ‘She’s good – she’s really good,’ said Rossetti. They are ready.’ Frappart refereed the Women's World Cup final in France earlier in the summer Frappart and her assistants briefly faced the media here – UEFA would only allow four questions before she went to train inside the stadium – but she is not flustered about the attention that has come her away.
