The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has appointed the Moroccan referee Adil Zourak to lead the VAR room in the finals of the 2021 African Cup of Nations (CAN).

CAN’s finals will bring together the Egyptian team with its Senegalese counterpart on Sunday, at the Paul Biya Stadium in Yaoundé, starting at 8 p.m.

Adil Zourak will help lead the VAR room, alongside Bouchra Karboubi, and Zakaria Brinsi, while the task of leading the game will be given to the South African referee, Victor Gomez.

Victor Gomez will be assisted by Zakhele Thusi, Souru Phatsoane, and Congolese Jean-Jacques Ndala as the fourth referee.

Previously, both teams qualified, following Egypt’s victory against Cameroon on penalties (3-1), on February 3, and Senegal’s win, after defeating Burkina Faso (3-1) on February 2.
