Moroccan Referee Jiyed Redouane has been appointed by FIFA to officiate the 2022 FIFA World Cup Qatar round two Matchday 1 qualifier between the Black Stars and Ethiopia.
The 42-year-old has been a CAF and FIFA referee since 2009. He led his first international match on 9 June 2012 and also officiated at 2017 Africa Cup of Nations in Gabon. Jiyed also led matches in the qualifying series for the 2014 and 2018 World Cup.
He will be assisted by compatriots Azgaou Lahsen (Assistant I), Akarkad Mostafa (Assistant II) and Jayed Jalal (Fourth Referee). Lawson-Hogban Latre-Kayi Edzona from Togo will work as Referee Assesor while Gomez Martin from The Gambia serves as the Match Commissioner.
The Group G encounter will take place at Cape Coast stadium on Friday, September 3, 2021 at 7:00 pm.
Ghana would be hoping to start her campaign on a good note and eventually make it to the global football event in Qatar next year.
The Black Stars missed the last edition of the football tournament held in Russia in 2018.
Black Stars coach Charles Kwablan Akonnor last week named a 30-man squad for the Ethiopia and South Africa games.
