FIFA has made changes to the officiating team for the 2026 World Cup qualifying match between Benin Republic and Nigeria.
The encounter is scheduled for Stade Felix Houphouet-Boigny in the Ivorian capital on Monday, June 10, 2024.
Ethiopian official Bamlak Tessema Weyesa, who was originally designated as the referee for the encounter scheduled to kick off at 4 p.m. has been replaced by Gabonese Pierre Ghislain Atcho.
Weyesa’s compatriots, Temesgin Samuel Atango and Tigle Gizaw Belachew, have been retained as assistant referees 1 and 2, respectively.
However, another Ethiopian, Tewodros Mitiku, earlier designated as the fourth official, has been replaced by Cameroonian Antoine Max Effa Essouma.
The originally-designated referee assessor, match commissioner, and security officer retain their places in the day four encounter that comes up only three days after the Super Eagles and Bafana Bafana clash at the Godswill Akpabio Stadium, Uyo, in a day three battle.
