Heba Saadia is going down in history as the first-ever Palestinian to referee in the FIFA Women's World Cup.

The International Federation of Association Football (FIFA) chose the Palestinian referee to take part in the ongoing Women's World Cup matches last year.

The games started on July 20 and will go on until Aug. 20 in both Australia and New Zealand.
