FIFA has appointed North African referees to officiate the World Cup play-off matches between Ghana and Nigeria in Cape Coast and Abuja on the 25th of March 2022.
According to the World’s football governing body, Moroccan referee Jiyed Redouane will handle the first leg fixture when the Black Stars host the Super Eagles on Friday, March 25, 2022, at the Cape Coast Stadium.
The 42-year-old, who had his first international match on June 9, 2012, has been a CAF and FIFA referee since 2009.
Interestingly, Redouane also took charge of Ghana’s Group G clash against Ethiopia in the 2022 World Cup Qualifiers last year.
Tunisian referee, Sadok Selmi, will officiate the second leg in Abuja.
The Black Stars will take on the Super Eagles on March 25 at the Cape Coast Stadium, before the second leg is played four days later in Abuja.
