Kenyan referee Peter Waweru will be among 27 referees appointed by Caf for the June-July 2019 Afcon tournament in Egypt.
Waweru, who is a Mathematics lecturer by profession, has previously taken charge of Caf Champions League matches.
He was also was part of the officials that oversaw the U20 Afcon competition in Niger in February this year. Waweru will be making his maiden appearance in the Afcon senior competition after getting his Fifa accreditation badge in 2017.
In the last Afcon in Gabon, Kenya had the already-banned Aden Marwa, who has since been banned for life by Fifa for allegedly accepting bribes to influence the outcomes of matches.
