This Thursday (12/1), for the first time in a World Cup, the refereeing trio was composed of three women, among which was assistant referee Neuza Back, a Brazilian physical educator. In all, the federation chose six female referees for the men’s soccer World Cup, but until that match, all games had been refereed by men.
Back, who assisted France’s Stephanie Frappart in the duel between Costa Rica and Germany with Mexico’s Karen Diaz Medina, even participated in the “Encontro” program three months before the start of the World Cup in Qatar, and said that participating in the Cup was “the achievement of a dream”, however, she highlighted that the way to achieve this achievement is more difficult for women.
Repercussions on networks
The historic moment reverberated on social media, both positively and negatively. Some of the mistakes made by the referees early in the game resulted in comments criticizing not only the women’s work, but also the fact that the trio was composed entirely of them.
The judge didn’t give Rudger a foul and Germany’s goal came out, the absurdity in its maximum state, the arbitration that was already bad, became ridiculous. #FIFAWorldCup

Despite this, the first 100% female participation in refereeing in a World Cup game was surprising to some spectators, in addition to much praise.

Congratulations to FIFA for choosing a female trio in the Costa Rica x Germany arbitration, breaking barriers and showing that women can act wherever they want.
It was not a goal for Germany, but a goal for gender equality #CRCGER #FIFA World Cup#Qatar2022%u2014 tertusccp%uD83E%uDD85 (@tertu10) December 1, 2022
