Career

She has been an international referee since 1999, her first match being Belarus against Moldova on 17 April 1999.[7] She refereed the final at the 2008 Olympics,[8] the final of the UEFA Women's Euro 2009 and the 2011 UEFA Women's Champions League Final.[9][10] She is also the first woman to referee in the Czech First League.[8]

Damková refereed three matches at the 2007 FIFA Women's World Cup in China, including the semi-final between Germany and Norway, becoming the first Czech woman to referee at such a level.[11] She also refereed at the 2011 FIFA Women's World Cup in Germany.

Damková started refereeing in the Czech First League in the 2005–06 season.[12] Following the match between Teplice and Slavia Prague on 27 November 2006, Damková had a 32-month break from the league after failing a fitness test,[13] but returned in 2009.[14] She refereed her last match in the Czech First League on 7 August 2011, taking charge of the match between Mladá Boleslav and Slovácko.[15]

On 21 October 2020 Damková has resigned from the executive committee of the Czech Football Association and as chair of the Steering Committee for Bohemia. The move follows the resignation of her husband Roman Berbr, who was arrested in a scandal surrounding alleged match fixing.[16]
