Nigeria’s FIFA-badged Assistant Referee, Mimisen Iyorhe Calvin-Onwuka will make history once again as curtains fall on the inaugural TotalEnergies CAF Women’s Champions League in Cairo, Egypt on Friday.
WAFU B and Ghanaian champions Hasaacas Ladies are billed to face South African champions Mamelodi Sundowns in Africa’s first ever inter-club final in Cairo, starting from 6pm Nigerian time.
For the match, the Confederation of African Football (CAF) has named Iyorhe, a vastly experienced Assistant Referee (AR) as the AR 2 for the game.
Iyorhe will be assisting Ethiopian match arbiter Lidya Tafesse Abebe who will be the centre referee while Queency Clodia Victoire will be the AR 1 for the game billed for the June 30 Stadium in Cairo.
Incidentally, both Abebe and Iyorhe Calvin-Onwuka made history earlier this year as being among the first set of women referees to officiate in a men’s tournament organised by CAF when they officiated at the African Nations Championship (CHAN) in Cameroon.
