All female referees in football (first division & continental competitions)

In this overview you will find, in alphabetical order, all female referees in football, provided they have been appointed in the first men’s league of a country or in a continental competition in men’s football.

Some of these female referees in football are still active, others are not. This is not distinguished here because it is not as easy to tell from the assignments as it is with male colleagues. Because it is not only injuries that lead to a match official not getting a call-up for half a year or a whole year, but also pregnancies. Therefore, the fact that female referees in football and other sports do not officiate for a year or more does not indicate that their career has come to an end.
