The three women by name; Stephanie Frappart from France (Europe), Salima Mukansanga from Rwanda (Africa), and Yoshimi Yamashita from Japan (Asia) are all scholarly referees in the women’s world football.
Their achievements in the world of football accorded them the benefits of not only breaking the Men’s World Cup 92-year old record but also setting a new record for women around the world to look up to.
