It’s now confirmed: FIFA referee Bibiana Steinhaus will be the first woman to referee a Bundesliga match. The 38-year-old ex-policewoman from near Hanover will see over the third-matchday meeting between Hertha BSC and SV Werder Bremen in Berlin on Sunday (15:30 CEST). Christof Günsch and Thomas Stein will be the linesmen for the game, while the fourth official will be Robert Schröder and Harm Osmers will be the video assistant referee.
“Of course, I’m really looking forward to my first match in the Bundesliga,” says Steinhaus. “I’m delighted that my team and I will finally be able to take on this challenge on Sunday. We’re certainly very well prepared.”
