Refereeing career
Jacewicz began refereeing at the age of 13 when her brother's team needed a referee.[1][2][3]
After being appointed to referee the 2019 W-League Grand Final, this was her ninth final out of the first eleven seasons of the W-League,[4] which was rebranded in 2021 as A-League Women.[5]
She became a FIFA referee in 2011,[6] and was in charge of the Final of the 2016 FIFA U-17 Women's World Cup in Jordan.[7]
Jacewicz was selected as one of the 27 referees for the 2019 FIFA Women's World Cup.[8] She refereed two matches, including the round of 16 clash between Sweden and Canada.
In the 2019–20 A-League season, Jacewicz became the first woman to referee a match in the A-League when she took charge of the Melbourne City match against Newcastle Jets.[9]
On 9 January 2023, FIFA appointed her to the officiating pool for the 2023 FIFA Women's World Cup in Australia.[10] She refereed two matches, including the round of 16 clash between Colombia and Jamaica.
