Chrysoula Kouropylia was appointed assistant referee for the Women’s World Cup 2023 in Australia and New Zealand in an announcement by the FIFA committee on Monday.

According to 24 Happenings, the Greek referee is one of 55 assistant referees selected for the games which will be held during July and August this year.

Referees were chosen based on their performance in FIFA tournaments as well as international and national competitions in recent years.

“The criteria we have used is ‘quality first’ and the selected on-field match officials represent the highest level of refereeing worldwide,” Chairman of the FIFA Referees Committee, Pierluigi Collina, said in a statement.

“From the selected referees, we expect a rigorous and focused preparation for the Women’s World Cup, a competition that FIFA and its president hold in the highest of regards,” Collina further added.

Kouropylia will be a match official for the final Women’s World Cup tournaments at Eden Park in Auckland, Tāmaki Makaurau, New Zealand on July 20 and at Sydney’s Stadium, Australia on August 20.
