Rebecca Welch has a solid track record as a referee and most often referees in the Women’s Super League.
During the summer, she crossed the Indian Ocean and refereed three matches in the World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
In 2021, she made history as the first female referee to officiate a match in an English professional men’s league.
And now she continues to break ground.
Welch refereed the meeting between Fulham and Burnley and thus became the first woman ever to be the head referee in the Premier League.
