CAF appoint Senegalese Issa Sy, others for Super Eagles clash against Benin
Senegalese official Issa Sy, who was in charge when the Super Eagles pipped Angola 1-0 at the Stade Felix Houphouet-Boigny during the quarter-final match of the Africa Cup of Nations finals has been selected by CAF as referee for Thursday’s encounter, Nigeriasoccernet.com can confirm.
He will be supported by compatriots Djibril Camara (assistant 1), Nouha Bangoura (assistant 2), and El Hadji Amadou Sy (fourth official). Ivorian Rene Williams Sere will be the commissioner while Angolan Inacio Manuel Candido will be the referee assessor.
The Super Eagles need only one point from Thursday’s clash to be sure of a ticket to the 35th AFCON, scheduled for Morocco from 21st December 2025 to 18th January 2026.
With 10 points from four matches, seven goals for and none against, and top of their Group D, the Eagles will be hoping to get the better of their opponent when they walk into the Stade Felix Houphouet-Boigny, the facility where they upended the aspirations of Guinea Bissau, Cameroon, and Angola at the 34th Africa Cup of Nations finals in Cote d’Ivoire earlier in the year.
