Villa Gutierrez will retire after the Women’s Euro final

The Spanish assistant referee Maria Luisa Villa Gutierrez will use her flag for the last time on Sunday and that will be one the matches she could get, the Women's European Championship final, Germany – Norway, to be played at the Arena Friends Solna, Stockholm.
Villa Gutierrez will leave behind more than 400 games and the 'privilege' of being the only woman to reach 1st Division in Spain, a category that could not debut because she failed the fitness tests. A blow from which she managed to recover and resume his successful refereeing career in the second category B. The age limit will force her to retire this season, after being at Olympic Games, World Cups, European Championships and even a Women's Champions League final.
