This is not the first time that Monzul will officiate a men's football match. She was part of the all-female referee team in the Nations League game against San Marino and Gibraltar in November 2020.

The VAR official for the game is France's Stephanie Frappart. Meanwhile, the fourth official and assistant VAR referee are both males, Denys Shurman and Viktor Matyash, respectively.

Frappart has also officiated in the men's Champions League and World Cup qualifying matches.
