On Friday, October 11, in Casablanca’s Stade Larbi Zaouli in Morocco, Madagascar will play The Gambia.

The match’s center referee is going to be Ali Sabila Chelangat. Ronald Katenya and Emmanuel Okudra will support him as the first and second match assistant officials respectively.

Additionally, Bhai Mustapha Chitbahal of Mauritius serves as the match commissioner while another Ugandan William Oloya will serve as the fourth official for the game.

Hailu Woreta Tesfanesh of Ethiopia will serve as the referee assessor. Mariam Rakid of Morocco will be in charge of the broadcast venue.

After two games in group A, Tunisia is leading the standings with six points, followed by Madagascar and The Gambia, both with one point. The second on two points is Comoros. These qualifiers will take effect in the second week of October.

Where the Uganda Cranes are.

The Cranes earned an impressive 2-2 draw with South Africa away from home before an equally impressive 2-0 win over Congo Brazzaville at Namboole Stadium.
