Moroccan referee Mustapha Kechchaf appointed for Ghana, Gambia game

Moroccan referee Mustapha Kechchaf has been appointed to officiate Ghana’s crucial 2027 Africa Cup of Nations Group C qualifier against The Gambia.

Kechchaf will be at the centre of proceedings at the Accra Sports Stadium as the Black Stars look to secure their first points of the qualifying campaign following their disappointing 2-0 defeat to Cote d’Ivoire in Bouaké.

The Moroccan official will be assisted by compatriots Lahsen Azgaou, Yassine Saadaoui and Amir Loucif, who will serve as the first assistant, second assistant and fourth official respectively.

The match will also have officials from across the continent overseeing other key responsibilities.

Liberia’s Sekou Wieh Konneh has been appointed Match Commissioner, while Nigeria’s Abel Baba will serve as the Referee Assessor.

Ghana’s Danny Adotey has been named Broadcast Venue Manager for the encounter.

Kechchaf and his team will be expected to ensure the smooth running of a game that carries significant importance for both sides.
