Pictured is Janny Sikazwe, the first ever Zambian referee to officiate at the FIFA World Cup. Although Zambia has never made it to a World Cup - but this summer they have a representative in Russia. According to reports, Janny Sikazwe is widely regarded as the country's best referee and was chosen by FIFA to appear on the biggest stage of them all.

The referee is set to take charge of group G match between Belgium vs Panama tomorrow at Fisht stadium in Russia.

Meanwhile, controversy reigned when Sikazwe took charge of the 2016 Club World Cup Final between Real Madrid and Kashima Antlers.

When Sergio Ramos brought down an opponent having already been booked, the Zambian reached for a second yellow card and called the Galacticos captain over.

But he then put his hand back in his pocket and bizarrely chose not to send Ramos off.

Sikazwe subsequently said the decision was down to miscommunication and as he misheard his assistant over his earpiece, thinking he had called for a card when he actually said "foul, no card".

A year later he refereed the African Cup of Nations Final between Cameroon and Egypt.

Since Zambia couldn't go for world Cup they did the normal thing by sending someone they trusted to represent them at least not for heartbreak. Nigeria would have toll such part to send only our gallant fans to go represent us and diminsh this heartbreak. Anyway no be every body wey go Russia go come back sha. National empowerment program,
international branch.

In whatever we do, we should thrive to STAND OUT!

I wish him progress in his career.
