Deprived of continental competitions for several months, the CAF selected 33 referees. They have been in training course as preparation for the CAF interclubs semifinals.

17 referees and 16 assistant referees are staying from 11 to 15 October in Cairo. On the agenda, amendments to the laws of the game, hand-plays, match and video analyses. Offside rule, incidents in the penalty area and the tactical fouls are the same in the training course.

“Upcoming matches are crucial. And game officials need to be in the best conditions – physically, mentally and psychologically – to monitor the game.” Said CAF Arbitration Director Eddy Maillet.

At the end, we will know the officials planned to lead the Confederation Cup and Champions League matches.
