Who is the UEFA Super Cup referee? Stephanie Frappart makes football history in Liverpool vs Chelsea final

The French official will lead a predominantly female team of referees out in Istanbul for the showpiece match

UEFA confirmed the news at the beginning of August, revealing that Stephanie Frappart would be the chief official for the game between the two Premier League sides.
