The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has announced that the referee selected to officiate in the second leg final of the Confederation of African Football Cup is Issa Sy, the Senegalese.
The match pits Zamalek SC against RS Berkane and is scheduled for May 19 at the Cairo International Stadium, while the first leg will take place next Sunday at the Berkane Stadium in Morocco. This designation follows the impressive performance of the Senegalese referee during his recent appearances in this competition. Issa Sy had already been chosen to referee the match between the South Africans of Mamelodi Sundowns and the Tunisians of Esperance Sportive de Tunis on Friday April 26, 2024, during the return leg of the CAF Champions League. He was also the main referee of the second leg of the African Champions League between Petro Luanda and TP Mazembe.
Aged 39, Issa Sy has considerable experience in African refereeing, having officiated in several high-level meetings. His nomination for the final return of the African Confederation Cup testifies to his competence and his reputation in the world of African football refereeing.
