The list include centre referees, assistant referees, video assistant referees (VAR), technical instructors, physical trainers, VAR technicians and IT support.
Egypt and Algeria have the highest number of referees on the list with three each, while four VAR referees were selected from Mauritius, South Africa, Morocco and Egypt.
Seven technical instructors and physical trainers from Zimbabwe, Burundi, Cote D’Ivoire, Senegal, Morocco and Djibouti were selected.
The Super Eagles of Nigeria are among the 24 countries that will compete for the title at the 2023 AFCON finals to be hosted by Cote d’Ivoire from January 13 to February 11, 2024.
