Two Nigerians are among the list of 22 match Commissioners released by Confederation Africain De Football (CAF) for the next round of the preliminary tournament of the 28th Africa Cup of Nations to be jointly hosted by Gabon and Equitorial Guinea.

In a release made available to the Nigeria Football Federation, Paul Bassey has been nominated to commission the highly explosive Group K encounter between Malawi and Tunisia scheduled for Blantyre in Malawi on September 3.

Whereas Botswana are the runaway winners of this group with 17 points, both Tunisia and Malawi are placed second with ten points each with Tunisia slightly ahead on goals difference.

The battle of Blantyre will therefore be a do or die confrontation as only one of the two teams has a chance of going ahead as second best.

When both sides met in Tunis, the match ended 2-2.

Former Secretary General of the Nigeria Football Federation Dr Bolaji Ojo-Oba is appointed match commissioner for the Niger-South Africa match in Niamey.

With Egypt ( 2pts )deciding to use its Under 23 squad ( They will be hosting the London Olympics African Playoffs ) henceforth in this group G decider, the South Africans with 8 points must strive for a good result against Niger with 6 points.

Sierra Leone with 5pts also stand a chance against the Egyptian youth side who are out to gain experience preparatory to the Olympics qualifiers.

It will be recalled that the Super Eagles of Nigeria are also in a make or mar confrontation against Madagascar.
