CAF has also appointed Moroccan match officials for the game, with Samir Guezzaz as referee. Fellow Moroccans Zakaria Brinsi, Abdessamad Abertoune, and Kech Chaf Mustapha will serve as assistant referee 1, assistant referee 2, and fourth official, respectively.

Prosper Harrison Addo from Ghana and Somalian Ali Mohamed Ahmed will serve a Match Commissioner and referee assessor in that order.

Prior to the final Matchday 6 game however the Eagles will face Benin Republic on November 14 Matchday 5 in Abidjan, same day embattled Libya are expected to face Rwanda in Kigali.

It is yet to be known whether the North African side who accused CAF of bias following the ruling in their botched match against Nigeria in Benina will honour the match against Rwanda in Kigali and the last game against Benin Republic in Benina on November 18.

The Mediterranean Nights have only a point in the kitty and from all indications potential absentees to the 35th AFCON.
