Greek Australian, Eleni Glouftsis, has recently ranked 94th in the ‘Power 100’ list for the most influential women in Australian sport.
Glouftsis was the first female field umpire to officiate an elite AFL match in 2017.
At the time, her umpiring was seen as a landmark moment for AFL and she was congratulated by former Prime Minister Malcolm Turnbull.
In 2019, she was named Young South Australian of the Year and received an Order of Australia Medal in 2021 for her dedicated service to AFL as an umpire.
At current, Glouftsis is part of the 2.6 percent of female umpires in the AFL league.
