Monzul was part of the first all-female refereeing teams to officiate the Nations League match between San Marino and Gibraltar in November 2020.
She is also a referee for the Ukrainian Premier League and has experience at Women's World Cups, European Championships, and Women's World Cups.
Frappart has been a male officiator in the men’s Champions League, as well as taking charge of a men’s World Cup Qualifier. She is now one of the pioneers of female officiating.
These appointments are made in the same year as Rebecca Welch, who became the first woman to be appointed as a referee to oversee an EFL game. Harrogate's April 2-0 defeat to Port Vale was Harrogate's.
England is now preparing to take on Andorra, having already collected 16 points out of a possible 18, in Group I. This includes a win of 4-0 over their weekend counterparts during the September international break.
