Salima Mukansanga of Rwanda, who officiated in a World Cup match for men on Tuesday, made history as the continent's first female referee.
The 34-year-old served as the fourth referee in the contest between France and Australia, the current world champions.
Victor Gomes of South Africa served as the center official, and he was supported by Lesotho's Souru Phatoane and Zakhele Siwela of his own country.
Mukansanga presided over a game for the first time as a woman earlier this year at the men's Africa Cup of Nations, which was first played in 1958. The previous year, she officiated at the Tokyo Olympics.
