Women referees at the men's World Cup
Qatar 2022 was the first men's World Cup to include women on the refereeing panel. Stéphanie Frappart (France) became the first woman to officiate a men's World Cup match (Germany-Costa Rica, group stage), supported by Salima Mukansanga (Rwanda) and Yoshimi Yamashita (Japan). The 2026 panel is expected to expand female participation further.
VAR & officiating in 2026
The 2026 World Cup uses Video Assistant Referee (VAR) and semi-automated offside technology, as introduced at Qatar 2022. The latter tracks 29 data points per player at 50Hz and triggers a 3D animation that resolves close offside calls in seconds.
