The officiating crew for the upcoming Super Bowl LV has just been announced, and the NFL is making history with its selections.

Sarah Thomas will become the first female referee to officiate at the Super Bowl, as part of head referee Carl Cheffer's crew. NFL executive vice president of football operations Troy Vincent said in a statement, "Sarah Thomas has made history again as the first female Super Bowl official. Her elite performance and commitment to excellence has earned her the right to officiate the Super Bowl. Congratulations to Sarah on this well-deserved honor."
