'I'm sick of sexual compliments.'

A famous female referee working on the European stage raised the alarm over sexist compliments around her. He shut down his personal SNS account in protest of the outpouring of praise and nicknames for him 'Sexy'.

According to foreign media such as British media The Sun and Spanish media Marca, Albanian female referee Emmanuela Rusta, 30, recently deleted her account after receiving a sexist message on her Instagram and is drawing attention by expressing her protest.



Rusta is a physical education teacher at a middle school in Albania who is also writing a success story as a female soccer referee. He also grabbed the whistle against Sporting-Real Madrid in the UEFA Women's Champions League on the 19th.

In Albania's men's professional football first division (Super Liga), he has become a role model as a representative female referee who defeated 'glass ceiling' in the male-centered world of referees, playing 15 games. The title of the first female referee in the top-level Albanian soccer league and the first FIFA referee in Albania is his achievement.

However, it seems that he suffered a lot due to his outstanding appearance, emphasizing femininity, which was followed by his outstanding appearance. In particular, Rusta was known to be furious when some local media reported the news of the referee's appearance with the modifier 「"Sexy referee who made it hot" ahead of the women's Champions League match.

Lusta immediately took Instagram private as she followed her Instagram to explore 'sexy women' rather than judges. In an interview with the media, he said, `We have to fight hard to be recognized as a referee. The glass ceiling should be powdered" raised his voice.



He then said "Referee is not a matter of gender, but of ability. To make a good decision, you need to know the rules of the game perfectly. You need to be physically healthy and have good concentration"There should be respect for working as a football referee and a fair evaluation."``````.
