The Confederation of African Football (Caf) has appointed referee Daniel Laryea to officiate the crunch Confederation Cup Group “D” clash pitting Egyptian giants Zamalek against Gor Mahia slated for Sunday at Borg El-Arab Stadium in Alexandria.
This comes as Football Kenya Federation wrote to Caf complaining over the officiating in last Sunday’s Caf Confederation Cup match between Gor Mahia and hosts Nasr Athlétique de Hussein Dey in Algiers.
In a letter sent to Caf dated March 4, 2019, FKF criticised the performance of centre referee Boubou Traore and sought clarification on why he disallowed Shafik Batambuze’s 58th-minute goal from a Francis Kahata corner in the match that ended 1-0 in favour of Hussein Dey.
Against Zamalek, the 30-year-old Laryea will be assisted by Nigeria’s Abel Baba and Issa Yaya from Chad.
Laryea has been in charge of several continental interclub competition matches before.
He also officiated at the 2018 Africa Nations Championship (Chan) tournament in Morocco.
He is a product of Accra Academy and the University of Ghana.
