On Sunday, January 12th, Simba will be in Angola to face Bravos in an important match to qualify for the quarter-finals of the CAF Confederation Cup
The match will be played starting at 5:00 in the evening Angolan time which is the same as 7 at night in East Africa. The match will be decided by referees from Burkina Faso
The center referee is Jean Ouattara assisted by Seydou Tiama who will be line number one and Levy Sawadogo who will be assistant referee number two, while the reserve referee will be Hamidou Diero.
Records show that referee Jean Ouattara is experienced in CAF matches, being mostly used to play national team matches including Afcon playoffs, while he is said to be not a person who likes to give cards on the field
In this match, Simba needs at least a draw to ensure a chance to play in the quarter finals for the sixth out of the seven seasons that have participated in the CAF championship since 2018-2019
