Carol Anne Chenard is back at the FIFA Women\u0027s World Cup, a life moment truly worth celebrating.
The 46-year-old from Ottawa was slated to work the 2019 tournament in France, her third World Cup as a referee. But a breast cancer diagnosis kept her at home on the eve of the competition.Instead of working the tournament, she had her first chemotherapy session the day the tournament kicked off.
She remained connected to the game, taking instructor and assessor courses. And despite her retirement as a ref, she had a plan — “a hope and a dream” — to become a video assistant referee, which offered a less physically strenuous way to stay involved in soccer. In the Canadian Premier League’s inaugural 2019 season, she led an all-female crew for a Forge FC-Cavalry FC game.Article content
If a more extensive check is needed, she can review different angles for a more thorough analysis — while alerting the referee to pause play. Case of mistaken identity is one of the four categories of video review, along with goal/no goal, penalty/no penalty and red cards. Typically she flies out early Saturday to work a game that night, returning to Ottawa early the next day.
