Congrats to Rebecca, Cheryl, Natalie & Sian. Some "interesting" names in unexpected places after the recent Men's World Cup in Qatar. Too few female VARs (again) & no VARs from England.

Any male referees at the women’s World Cup?

No German or Hungarian referees, although both have an AR.
A very strong line up with lots of experience.

Katalin Kúlcsár seems to have simply disappeared. Shame because she is a superb referee. Happy to see Vad (sister of István II, daughter of István I) representing Hungary though.

No Polish referee either, which surprises me

Irrati “the god of VAR” is there as expected!
