Among the distinguished names announced on CAF official website yesterday is Nigeria’s Eunice Akintoye Yemisi, who joins a record selection of 46 top female referees, assistant referees, and Video Assistant Referees (VAR) chosen to officiate at Africa’s premier women’s football tournament.

This year’s selection marks a significant increase in the number of match officials, eclipsing the previous record of 40 that participated in the 2022 finals.

The prestigious tournament will feature a total of 18 referees, 18 assistant referees, and 10 VAR operators representing 30 different African nations, with Morocco providing the largest contingent of five referees, including notable official Bouchra Karboubi, who has previously officiated at the TotalEnergies CAF Africa Cup of Nations in Côte d’Ivoire 2023 and the Paris Olympic Games.

Amongst the selected VAR officials is Salima Mukansanga, who previously oversaw the final match of the TotalEnergies CAF Women’s Africa Cup of Nations in Morocco 2022.
