The Confederation of African Football (CAF) has appointed Togolese referee Aissata Ameyo Amegee to take charge of the semi-final match between Morocco and Cameroon at the 2026 Women's Africa Cup of Nations. The match is scheduled to take place on August 13, 2026, in Rabat, Morocco.
Amegee, who has been a FIFA-listed referee since 2018, has previously officiated at the Women's Africa Cup of Nations and other continental competitions. Her appointment marks a significant recognition of her experience and professionalism in African women's football.
The semi-final is a highly anticipated clash, with Morocco having won the tournament in 2022 and Cameroon seeking to reach the final for the first time since 2016. The winner will advance to the final, while the loser will play in the third-place match.
CAF's decision to assign a female referee to such a high-profile match underscores the growing role of women in football officiating across the continent. Amegee will be assisted by her compatriots, with the full officiating team expected to be announced shortly before the match.
