Nigeria/Uganda: Uganda Refs to Handle CAF Game

6 October 2008

Caf has appointed four Uganda referees to officiate explosive match between Egypt club Al Ahly and Enyimba (Nigeria) on October 18 at the Cairo Military Academy Stadium.

The match is the semifinal second leg of CAF Champions League.

The first leg in Aba, Nigeria ended goalless on Sunday.

Mohammed Ssegonga is the centre referee; Hussein Bugembe and Ali Tomusange are his assistants while Ali Kalyango will travel as stand-by referee.

This will be Tomusange's first club assignment since 2007 when he was part of the team which handled a match between Al Ahly and a club from Angola.

The Ugandans were also in charge of MTN CAF Champions' League group match between Cotonsport (Cameroon) against Enyimba in Doula two weeks ago. Coton Sport won 3-0.
