Women's Bundesliga: Referee boss Fröhlich is considering using male referees. Only women whistle in the women's Bundesliga - in a far less professionalized environment.

Ex-national player Tabea Kemme recently criticized the working conditions of the referees. There is also no support for video assistants in the German league. The referees from DFB Schiri GmbH referee the games in the Bundesliga, 2nd Bundesliga, 3rd League and in the men's DFB Cup.
