Moroccan Samir Guezzaz, others set to take of Super Eagles clash against Rwanda
44-year-old Moroccan Samir Guezzaz will be in the role of referee for the clash between Super Eagles of Nigeria and Rwanda scheduled for the Godswill Akpabio stadium, Uyo, Nigeriasoccernet.com reports.
Guezzaz alongside his compatriots Zakaria Brinsi (assistant 1), Abdessamad Abertoune (assistant 2), and Kech Chaf Mustapha (fourth official) are scheduled to arrive in Nigeria on Saturday, same as Prosper Harrison Addo from Ghana (commissioner) and Ali Mohamed Ahmed from Somalia (referee assessor).
Meanwhile, group winners Nigeria and final-day opponents Rwanda have both landed at the Obong Victor Attah International Airport in Uyo ahead of Monday’s Matchday 6 clash in the concluding round of the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifying campaign.
Deflated but not altogether supine, the Amavubi still have a mathematical chance of qualifying, though the supposition is not in their favour. They missed a big opportunity to enhance their chances when losing at home to Libya’s Mediterranean Knights on Thursday. They can only make it to Morocco 2025 if they defeat Nigeria in Uyo and Libya is victorious against Benin Republic’s Cheetahs in North Africa on Monday.
The Super Eagles, confirmed group winners, have nothing to chase other than national pride and will play a more relaxed game against the visitors than the turgid contest with the Cheetahs at the Stade Felix Houphouet-Boigny in Abidjan on Thursday night.
