The NFL on Tuesday announced that Sarah Thomas will become the first woman to officiate a Super Bowl when she serves as down judge for next month’s championship spectacle.
Super Bowl 55 is billed for February 7 at Tampa, Florida.
Similarly, Thomas became the first permanent female official in NFL history after debuting as a line judge in a Kansas City at Houston game. She became the first woman with an on-field assignment in an NFL playoff game in 2019.
NFL vice president of football operations Troy Vincent was quoted as saying; “Sarah Thomas has made history again as the first female Super Bowl official.
“Her elite performance and commitment to excellence has earned her the right to officiate the Super Bowl. Congratulations to Sarah on this well-deserved honor.”
The role Thomas fills was known as head linesman before she began serving as a down judge in 2017.
Carl Cheffers, a 21-season NFL veteran official, will be referee for the championship contest, leading a seven-person crew. He was also in charge of Super Bowl 51 in 2017.
