Stéphanie Frappart is ranked second best referee in the world in 2024.
A new order
The order has been disrupted. After being crowned the best referee in the world for five consecutive years by the International Federation of Football History & Statistics (IFFHS), Stéphanie Frappart was beaten. This year, the French referee will have to settle for second place, just behind the English referee Rebecca Welch. The gap nevertheless remains tight, since only 14 points separate the two women (118 against 104).
Quite a difficult year
Remember that 2024 will certainly have been one of the most turbulent for Stéphanie Frappart, involved in several arbitration controversies and not being selected for the Euro.
Numerous appearances in men's football
On October 4, 2020, she refereed her first shock in Ligue 1, the Olympico between OL and OM. On October 22, 2020, she refereed for the first time in the Europa League, with the Group G match between Leicester and Zorya Luhansk. On December 2, 2020, she refereed her first men's Champions League match during the Juventus FC-Dynamo kyiv match.
Stephanie Frappart nevertheless has many reference matches behind her and will undoubtedly return to a better level.
