Not just players. The
1st Women Futsal World Tournament in progress in Alcobendas and Torrejon De Ardoz is giving a first international chance also to a brilliant couple of women futsal referees. The italian
Francesca Muccardo and the hungarian
Lilla Perepatics are officiating the spanish event games together with their male colleagues: the croatian Danjel Janosevic, the portuguese Eduardo Fernándes and the spanish whistles Francisco Peña, Roberto Gracia, Francisco Gutiérrez, Marcelino Blázquez. A deserved chance for both Francesca and Lilla, and definitely a huge step ahead in our sport development, this time under the refereeing point of view. In the aim to pay the right tribute to both
Francesca Muccardo and
Lilla Perepatics we provide you with a great series of pictures offered by the
Golsala.com's
dueno Enrique Serrano. Enjoy it!

Do you still believe men refs are better than women? They're both good and a basic part of our magnificent sport! (Photo courtesy: Enrique Serrano)
