Drahşan Arda
- ... that Drahşan Arda is the world's first female association footballl referee confirmed by the FIFA? Source: "In spite of ample evidence documenting Edith Klinger’s achievements, FIFA recognized Drahşan Arda of Turkey as the world’s first female football referee in 2018, perhaps because she was still alive to pursue the designation."

The article was nominated within 7 days of being created, so it counts as new. At 1,700+ characters, it is long enough. I see no close paraphrasing, and it is properly sourced. QPQ provided. The hook (and possibly the neutrality requirement) might benefit from noting what the source cited here says: that Arda may have gained the recognition because she was still alive and could pursue it. But the hook is nevertheless factually accurate, very interesting, cited, and concise. Surtsicna (talk) 13:34, 10 July 2021 (UTC)
