This Saturday, ASSE welcomes Stade de Reims to launch its year 2025. The Saint-Etienne club hopes to regain the success that has eluded it since November 23. For their part, Reims have not won in Ligue 1 since November 10.
For this first meeting of the year 2025, ASSE will be refereed for the first time this season by Stéphanie Frappart. The only female professional referee has not refereed the Greens for more than a year and a half.
A negative result for ASSE with Frappart in Ligue 1
Stéphanie Frappart has refereed 6 ASSE matches for a record of 2 wins, 2 draws and 2 defeats. She officiated in 4 Ligue 1 matches, one in the Coupe de France and one in Ligue 2.
The first Greens meeting that Stéphanie Frappart refereed dates back to January 2019. It was then on behalf of the 32nd finals of the Coupe de France between Olympique de Strasbourg and ASSE. Jean Louis Gasset's men then won 6-0.
In Ligue 1, the record is one victory, 2 defeats and 1 draw. For the victory, we have to go back to December 2020, on the Bordeaux pitch. ASSE then won 2-1. She also officiated in the 1-1 draw at Metz in 2021. This match was marked by the goal scored by Wahbi Khazri with a strike from her own half.
It is therefore in the elite that ASSE experienced its 2 defeats with Stéphanie Frappart on the whistle. First against Reims, December 8, 2019. The Verts lost 3 goals to 1. This will therefore be the 2nd meeting between the Loire club and the Champenois that the 41-year-old woman will referee this Saturday. The other defeat dates back to February 2021 on the Lorient lawn. After opening the scoring, the Greens lost 2-1.
Finally, Stéphanie Frappart has only refereed ASSE once in Ligue 2. It is also the only Greens match that she has refereed in the Chaudron. The Stéphanois were held in check by Amiens (1-1) in March 2023.
Frappart performs well at Stade de Reims
In her career as a referee, Stéphanie Frappart officiated in 15 matches for Reims for 8 victories. She has already been on the whistle for a meeting of Luka Elsner's men this season. It was against OL, a match which ended 1-1 at the end of last November.
For her 8th Ligue 1 match this season, the 41-year-old will be supported by Mikaël Berchebru and Julien Haulbert. Guillaume Paradis will be the 4th referee. Finally Gaël Angoula and Christian Guillard will be in the VAR truck.
