Moroccan referee Bouchra Karboubi has been ranked as the fifth best female referee in the world by the International Federation of Football History and Statistics (IFFHS) as part of its 2024 Awards.
Karboubi won the prestigious Best African Female Referee Award at the CAF Awards 2024 ceremony, held on December 16 in Marrakech.
She made history as the first Arab woman to officiate a match in the Africa Cup of Nations as the main referee during the 2023 AFCON in Ivory Coast. She also officiated at the 2023 Women’s World Cup, held in Australia and New Zealand.
Karboubi also had the privilege of becoming the first woman to referee a match in Morocco’s top football division, the Botola Pro D1. Additionally, she was appointed to officiate the final of the 2019-2020 Throne Cup.
Earlier this year, the Moroccan referee received the Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Creative Sports Award as the “Best Arab Football Referee.”
In the IFFHS ranking of the world’s best female referees for 2024, England’s Rebecca Welch took the top spot, followed by France’s Stéphanie Frappart and Sweden’s Tess Olofsson.
