Cheryl Foster’s performances at the Women’s World Cup have sparked a refereeing boom in Wales.
Foster, a former 63-times capped Wales international, has been awarded the third place play-off between Australia and Sweden in Brisbane on Saturday – her fourth game of the tournament.
The 42-year-old from Bangor refereed the Women’s Champions League final in June and her rise in the game comes at the ideal time for the Football Association of Wales, who last month launched its referee academy for women and girls.
Llongyfarchiadau
A wonderful appointment for Cheryl Foster
