Life as a female referee can sometimes be daunting as it comes with all sorts of sexist abuse from fans, players or even managers, especially those who feel undermined by the referee's actions during a match.

A female referee identified as Giulia Nicastro suffered serious sexist abuse as a teenage player decided to expose himself to her during a youth match she was officiating in Italy. The match was being played between Treporti and Miranese, in an armature league in Rome.
