On September 19, according to the Daily Mail, female referee Emanuela Rusta had to shut down her personal social media accounts due to frequent sexual harassment messages.
Emanuela Rusta is 30 years old and a female referee from Albania. Her refereeing has been widely recognized, making her the first female referee to officiate in the men’s Albanian Superliga. In recent months, Emanuela Rusta has begun to participate in refereeing matches in the women’s football Champions League.
Emanuela Rusta was once very active on social platforms, even sharing attractive photos of herself in bikinis and working out at the gym, which attracted widespread attention. While enjoying high popularity, she was also disturbed by receiving multiple gender harassment messages on her social media accounts, forcing her to close them down.
Emanuela Rusta expressed her dissatisfaction: “People should pay more attention to my refereeing skills rather than other aspects. Gender is not an issue for referees; it’s about ability.”
