Cameroonian Refs For Flamingoes

Cameroonian officials will take charge of the first leg of the FIFA Under 17 Women’s World Cup qualifying fixture between Nigeria and Zambia Under 17 women teams.

Zambia thrashed Botswana 5-1 in Gaborone and won the return 2-0 in Lusaka to be rewarded with a clash with the Flamingoes, who were at the first two FIFA Under 17 Women’s World Cup finals.

Cameroonian Therese Neguel will be at the centre in Lusaka, to be assisted by compatriots Patricia Houngouraman and Marie Christine Dada, and Therese Abou’ou as Reserve Referee. The Match Commissioner is Sebindi Maphosa from Zimbabwe.

For the return leg in Nigeria on Saturday, March 24, Senegalese referees will take charge. Dia Fadouma is at the centre, to be assisted by compatriots Die Alse Sylla and Adia Issue Cisse, and Amina Fall as Reserve Referee.

The Match Commissioner is Hilda Addah from Ghana
