Female Referees Names to Officiate FIFA World Cup Matches 2022 in Qatar

They also assert that women are too emotional and biased to make impartial calls during a game.

These detractors are wrong on all counts. Female referees have proven themselves capable of handling any challenge that comes their way, and they bring a unique perspective to the game that can only enhance its overall quality.
