Royal Moroccan Football Federation (FRMF) have appointed a female referee, Bouchra Karboubi, to officiate the final of this year’s Throne Cup.
This is the first in the history of Moroccan football that a woman would be selected to officiate a football final.
Karboubi, who will be assisted by a fellow female assistant referee, Fatiha Jermoumi, is a CAF and FIFA certified referee.
Interestingly, the female referee, also a police officer, is the first of her gender to have officiated in the Moroccan Premier League. She has also officiated in various continental tournaments.
