Kristina Prokofyeva made her debut as referee in mens Super League in Russia when Dynamo Moscow and Murman played. And now she will appear in World Championships in Vänersborg. She will work as assistant referee in Group B during the Championships. Her debut in Super League was a success and after Vänersborg she will be one of the head referees in 2019 Universiade in Krasnoyarsk in March.
Kristina is the first women referee in the World of Bandy that has participated in the men’s highest league. Hopefully she will be followed by several good referee women.
