The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has appointed an all-Cameroonian team of match officials for Nigeria’s AFCON 2025 Round of 16 tie against Mozambique.

The knockout encounter between the Super Eagles and the Mambas will be played on Monday at the Complexe Sportif de Fès in Morocco.

Centre referee Abdou Abdel Mefire, 29, will take charge of the match, making him the youngest referee at the ongoing tournament.

Elvis Guy Noupue will serve as first assistant referee for the encounter.

The second assistant referee is Carine Atezambong Fomo, a respected female official with vast experience in top-level CAF competitions.

The appointment underscores CAF’s confidence in Cameroon’s refereeing pedigree for a tense and decisive AFCON 2025 knockout contest.
