The Confederation of African Football, CAF, has appointed Somali referee Omar Artan to take charge of the Africa Cup of Nations quarter-final match between Nigeria’s Super Eagles and Algeria.

Artan is one of the referees selected for the 2026 FIFA World Cup and is regarded as one of the most respected match officials on the African continent.

The highly anticipated encounter will be played on Saturday at the Stade de Marrakech in Morocco.

The fixture brings back memories of the 2019 AFCON semi-final, where Algeria defeated Nigeria 2-1 to progress to the final.

Kick-off is scheduled for 5:00 pm Nigerian time.
