Stephanie Frappart will become the first female referee to referee a Ligue 1 match, the French Football Federation (FFF) announced.
Frenchwoman Frappart will make history when she officiates Sunday's top-tier match between Amiens and Strasbourg.
The 35-year-old – who will feature at the Women's World Cup this year – was also the first woman to referee a Ligue 2 fixture in 2014.
"Stephanie Frappart, selected by FIFA for the Women's World Cup in France, has been appointed by the FFF Refereeing Direction for the match on the 34th day of Ligue 1 between Amiens SC and RC Strasbourg," the FFF said in a statement.
