It was very close between the two referees (118 – 104), Rebecca Welch made the difference, directing the UEFA Champions League final and being regular all the year in her performances. Frappart did’nt beat the record of Pier Luigi Collina (6 consecutive World Best Referee Awards). Sweden’s Tess Olofsson completed the podium with important 94 points, before US Referee Tori Penso (second last year) and the newcomer, Morocco’s Bouchra Karboubi, jumping at rank 5 !
