The 41-year-old has been a FIFA referee since 2011 and has officiated in two group matches in Switzerland and the quarter-final between Norway and Italy (1-2).

Frappart is considered the best-known female referee in the world. In 2020, she was the first woman to referee a men's Champions League match, followed by her debut at the 2022 Men's World Cup in Qatar in the group match between Germany and Costa Rica.

"Stéphanie Frappart deserves this nomination because her professionalism and attitude on and off the pitch make her a role model for the young generation of female referees," said Roberto Rosetti, UEFA's Director of Refereeing.
