The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced the comprehensive list of match officials selected for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations.
A total of 73 highly experienced officials have been appointed for Africa’s biggest football competition. This roster comprises 28 referees, 31 assistant referees, and 14 VAR officials.
The carefully selected officials represent all regions of the continent and include some of Africa’s most seasoned referees, many of whom have officiated across major CAF competitions in recent years.
All appointed match officials are expected to arrive in Morocco on December 15 for an intensive preparatory course ahead of the competition. This programme, which will be led by CAF’s Referees Department, will include physical, technical, and theoretical assessments designed to ensure optimum performance throughout the tournament.
This careful selection underscores CAF’s continued commitment to refereeing excellence, competition integrity, and the ongoing enhancement of technical standards across African football.
Morocco will host the competition, which is scheduled to run from December 21 to January 18.
