THE General Secretary of the Nigeria Football Federation, Dr Mohammed Sanusi, has been appointed by the Confederation of African Football to serve as the match commissioner for the Qatar 2022 World Cup qualifying match between hosts Egypt and Angola in Cairo on Wednesday.
CAF has already moved the game, earlier scheduled for Thursday, forward by a day to Wednesday, and the Nigerian administrator is already in the Egyptian capital to supervise proceedings of the Day 1 encounter.
Seven-time African champions Egypt will start as favourites against the Palancas Negras, who failed to qualify for the 24-nation Africa Cup of Nations finals due in Cameroon early next year.
The fixture will be held at the 30 June Stadium and starts at 9pm Egypt time.
Also appointed for the match are referees from Mali, with Boubou Traore at the centre, and his compatriots Modibo Samake, Baba Yomboliba and Mahamadou Keita to serve as assistant referee 1, assistant referee 2 and fourth official respectively.
Celestin Ntagungira from Rwanda will serve as the referee assessor.
