Zambia FIFA referee Janny Sikazwe will this weekend be at the centre of proceedings after he got a prestigious appointment to handle CAF Confederations Cup final first leg match between Orlando Pirates of South Africa and Étoile Sportive du Sahel of Tunisia.
According to communication by CAF, Sikazwe will be assisted by Jerson Emiliano DOS SANTOS of Angola and Arsénio Chadreque MARENGULA of Mozambique.
Sikazwe has continued to raise his profile on the international scene and was this year the fourth official in the final match of the Africa Cup of Nations tournament.
The Kapiri Mposhi based referee has been a consistent figure in the CAF games and was also part of the 2012 and 2013 Africa Cup of Nations where he came back with a bronze medal.
