Bouchra Karboubi

Bouchra Karboubi (Arabic: بشرى كربوبي; born on 15 May 1987) is a Moroccan international association football referee, who has officiated in several matches during the final phase of both men's and women's continental competitions.

[3] She mentioned: "I lived in a city where it's hchouma (shameful) for a girl to wear shorts to go on the field and mingle with men".

She had the opportunity to become a national referee,[4] leaving Taza for Meknes, a much larger city neighboring Fes.

[5] In 2018, she participated in refereeing a continental competition for the first time, with a match in the final tournament of the 2018 Women's Africa Cup of Nations, held in Ghana, opposing Zambia to Equatorial Guinea.

In 2020, she became the first woman to officiate a match in the top division of the men's professional championship in Morocco (Botola Pro).
