The fourth official will be Andriamiharisoa Hubert Marie Bruno while the match commissioner will be Ismail Kamal from Ethiopia.
Taifa Stars are in Mwanza, Tanzania perfecting their tactics for the Saturday showdown that will determine who qualifies for the Chan finals slated for South Africa next year.
