THE Qatar World Cup is upon us and Salima Mukansanga is set to make history, becoming one of three women to referee at the World Cup for the first time since it’s creation.
The Rwandan will join France’s Stephanie Frappart, Japan’s Yoshimi Yamashita and 36 others to officiate the tournament.
They will be joined by three other female assistant referees, Neuza Back, Karen Dias and Kathryn Nesbitt.
Here is a little bit more about the history maker.
Salima Mukansanga was born in 1988 and has been a FIFA registered international referee since 2012.
