Anna-Marie Keighley officiated her first Dallas Cup match six years ago. In summer 2015, she called five matches in the Women's World Cup, including a semifinal. Three years ago, Ricardo Montero oversaw the Super Group final. Next week, he'll be responsible for keeping the peace in a World Cup qualifier between rivals Honduras and El Salvador.
