AFCON: CAF Appoints Ghanaian, South African Referees For Nigeria Vs Morocco by Newsgeek24(op): 4:44pm On Jan 13

The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has appointed a Ghanaian referee and South African officials to handle the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) semi-final clash between Nigeria and Morocco.

In a statement on Tuesday, CAF named Ghana’s Daniel Nii Laryea as the referee for the high-profile encounter. He will be assisted by South Africa’s Zakhele Siwela and Lesotho’s Souru Phatsoane.

Mozambique’s Arsénio Maringule has been appointed as the third assistant referee, while Rwanda’s Samuel Uwikunda will serve as the fourth official.

CAF also confirmed the officials for the video assistant referee (VAR) duties, with South Africa’s Tom Abongile, Tunisia’s Haythem Guirat, and Kenya’s Stephen Yiembe assigned to the VAR booth. Ethiopia’s Lydia Abebe will act as referee assessor for the match.

The semi-final will see the Super Eagles face the Atlas Lions at the Prince Moulay Abdellah Stadium on Wednesday, with kick-off scheduled for 9 p.m. Nigerian time.

Nigeria booked their place in the semi-finals after defeating Algeria 2–0 in the quarter-finals. The Super Eagles had earlier recorded a commanding win over Mozambique in the knockout stage and finished the group phase with a perfect nine points from three matches.

Coached by Eric Chelle, Nigeria have been the most prolific side in the tournament, scoring 14 goals so far — a tally that sets a new national record for goals scored by the country in a single AFCON competition.

Professionally, any official can ref or officiate this match.

But politically, Ghana officials and south Africa officials is complicating the decision.

Hmmm..... CAF appointing two strong rivals of Nigeria to officiate the upcoming match is a recipe for bias.

Anyways, its no longer hidden, that the Super Eagles will be playing a 13 man Atlas lion team come morrow.

To overcome such difficult opponents, they must be very disciplined, especially at the defense.

Also Oshimen has to throw away his temperament come morrow, else he might cost us a Red card

Doesn't make any sense...

If Naija lose, they will say it as a result of the rivalry between us.

If they win, they will . He made us win since we are both from the same west African region.
