Frank Lampard has praised French referee Stéphanie Frappart ahead of his team’s match against Liverpool in the Uefa Super Cup on Wednesday. She becomes the first woman to officiate a major European men’s final. ‘I am very pleased to be a part of this moment in history,’ Lampard said at his pre-match press conference in Istanbul. Lampard added that he felt the football world was ‘very slow’ to appoint women referees in the men’s game.
