The
Competitions Committee for the CAF Confederations Cup has appointed South
African officials to handle Asante Kotoko’s clash with Ivorian side San Pedro
at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on Sunday.
Kotoko will host the Ivorian side in the
first-leg of the CAF Confederation Cup playoff before the reverse fixture in
Cote d’Ivoire.
This follows Kotoko’s failure to progress to the league stage of the Champions League competition, the continent’s premier club competition reserved for the elites.
They lost 2-3 on aggregate to
Etoile du Sahel of Tunisia after winning the first leg in Kumasi, Ghana 2-0 but
suffered a 3-0 crash in the second leg in Tunisia.
Referee Eugine Nkosinathi Mdlule will be the
center referee for the game on Sunday at 3:00PM kick-off time.
Mdlule will be assisted by compatriots Athenkosi
Ndongeni and Elphas Sitole, with Lebalang Martin Mokete from Lesotho as the
Fourth Official.
