Maria Belen Carvajal It has been standing out for years in the national benchmark and now it is going for another record, after it was designated as central judge in a Primera B match.
The Referees Committee appointed Carvajal to direct the match between Deportes Melipilla and Deportes Copiapó that will be played on October 28. It will be the first time that a woman is the highest refereeing authority in a First B match.

For her part, María Belén Carvajal was also the first woman to lead a match in Chilean professional soccer, when in 2018 she was in charge of bringing justice in a match of the Second Professional Division between Independiente de Cauquenes and Colchagua.
Carvajal, who has been a FIFA category since 2010, has vast experience in professional referees. In fact, she was at the 2019 Women’s Soccer World Cup in France.
