Zambian Ref Sikazwe to handle Sudan vs Nigeria game

The Confederation of Africa Football (CAF) has named Zambian
referee, Janny Sikazwe as the referee for the 2015 Africa Cup of
Nations qualifier between Sudan and Nigeria in Khartoum on
Saturday.

Daily Independent reports that the 35-year old ref who was a former Kapiri Mposhi secondary school teacher has officiated 42 international matches and would be hoping to add Saturday's match to his name.

The 35 years old, has awarded seven penalties, issued three reds
and 154 yellow cards in all the matches he has officiated.

To this end, the Super Eagles would have to be careful with tackles to avoid receiving unnecessary cards against Sudan.

He made his official debut at the 2012 finals co-hosted by Equatorial Guinea and Gabon where Zambia became champions after beating Cote D'Ivoire in the final.
