Frappart was also the first woman to referee a French top-tier Ligue 1 and UEFA Champions League match.

She was the referee at the 2019 UEFA Super Cup title match between Liverpool and Chelsea. Liverpool beat Chelsea 5–4 on penalties to win the Super Cup at Istanbul’s Vodafone Park Stadium. — Agencies
