The first woman to referee a match in the top division of French professional football (soccer) was Stéphanie Frappart (FRA). On 28 April 2019, Frappart officiated a scoreless draw between Amiens and Strasbourg at the Stade de la Licorne in Amiens, France.

Stéphanie Frappart's debut was a fairly tense game that saw her recognize 33 fouls and hand out four yellow cards.
