Four Nigerian referees will officiate the 2024 Women’s African Cup of Nations (WAFCON) Qualifiers First Round return leg clash between Mali and Central African Republic (CAR) on Tuesday.

Patience Ndidi Madu will be at the centre of the encounter slated to take place at the Stade 26 Mars, Bamako.

She will be assisted by her compatriots, Mfon Akpan and Abibatu Yusuf, while Abigael Alaba Olufunmilayo is the fourth official.

Aissatou Françoise Seck from Senegal will serve as the match commissioner.

The first leg ended 7-1 in favour of Mali thanks to Aguicha Diarra’s hat-trick and a brace from Aissata Traore.

Fatoumata Diarra and Oumou Kone also found the back of the net in the first-leg clash last week.

The winner of the clash on aggregate will face either Guinea or Mauritius in the second round for a place at the 2024 WAFCON in Morocco.
