France's Stephanie Frappart will become the first female official to take charge of a men's Champions League game when Juventus host Dinamo Kiev on Wednesday.
Frappart, who turns 37 next month, was the first female referee to officiate in a major UEFA competition match when Liverpool played Chelsea in the Super Cup in Istanbul last year.
