Jacqui Melksham
Jacqui Melksham (born 12 October 1978 in Mansfield) is an Australian football (soccer) referee.[1]
Career[]
Melksham officiated two matches at the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup: the opening match between Germany and Canada on 26 June 2011 which took place at the Olympic Stadium in Berlin;[2] and the quarterfinal match between Brazil and the United States on 10 July 2011 which took place at the Rudolf-Harbig-Stadion in Dresden.[3]
Many commentators[4] thought that Melksham did not call the U.S.-Brazil game well. Ray Ratto[5] said that she was not a 'thief', but just had a 'bad day at the office.' Melksham also works as a graphic designer.
