The selected officials are expected to undergo a preparation course ahead of the tournament from January 13 to February 11, 2024.

Algeria and Egypt have three centre referees each, while Morocco, Mauritania, and Mauritius have two each.

Others on the list include Gabon, Ghana, Benin, Congo, and Somalia, among others.

For the assistant referees, Morocco, Algeria, Egypt, Kenya, Cote d’Ivoire and South Africa have two names each.

Others are Comoros, Djibouti, Burkina Faso, and Sao Tome and Principe, among others.

Four VAR referees are selected from Mauritius, South Africa, Morocco and Egypt, while seven technical instructors and physical trainers are from Zimbabwe, Burundi, Côte D’Ivoire, Senegal, Morocco, and Djibouti.

Three VAR technicians and IT support are selected from Egypt with the Benin Republic and South Africa, producing one CAF referee committee member each.
