Chan 2021: Kenyan referees Waweru & Cheruiyot to officiate Morocco vs Mali final

Kenyan referee Peter Waweru will be the referee as defending champions Morocco take on Mali in the final of the African Nations Championship at the Stade Ahmadou Ahidjo in Yaounde on Sunday.

It is the first major final the Jomo Kenyatta University lecturer will be officiating and his second in the Chan competition after overseeing Mali eliminating Congo in the quarter-final played at the same venue.

The East African will be assisted by another Kenyan in Gilbert Cheruiyot who will serve as the first assistant referee. Just like Waweru, Cheruiyot served in the same capacity as the Eagles of Mali eliminated the Red Devils in the last eight.
