Janny Sikazwe to handle a CAF Champions League tie in Angola

Zambian referee Janny Sikazwe will this weekend return to Continental duty for the first time since the controversial Tunisia vs Mali clash in January at the 2021 AFCON.

Sikazwe will be the center referee in a CAF Champions League Group D encounter between two Angolan clubs, Petro De Luanda and Esperance Sangrada, at Estadio de Luanda Stadium, also known as 11 November on Saturday.

Last month the 43 years old showed no nerves as he went about his job with now fuss on his return to local league officiating Green Eagles’ 2-0 win over Red Arrows.

Sikazwe is one of the continent’s finest referees with a career 14 years experience.

He has taken charge of a CAF Champions League final, and African Cup of Nations final.

The 43 year old has handled matches from the Zambian lower tiers to the FIFA World Cup.
