The Thursday, July 24 game marked a meaningful milestone for women in football, as an all-female CFL support crew took the sidelines for the first time.
This historic moment took place at the Calgary Stampeders game, when they hosted the Montreal Alouettes.
It was a significant occasion for women in the CFL, as the last time women took the field in an official capacity was in 2019.
Georgina Paull and Emily Clarke were the first to set foot on the field with their fellow officials for a preseason game in Calgary.
The Stampeders were hosting the Roughriders in a preseason matchup ahead of the 2019 regular season.
Paull and Clarke became the first-ever women to work as officials in a CFL game.
