Jean-Jacques Ndala Ngambo has been appointed to referee the first leg of the Caf Champions League final between Mamelodi Sundowns and AS Far. The match is scheduled for 17 May in Tshwane.
This appointment has sparked controversy, with several members of the Caf executive committee demanding that the decision be overturned. The concerns stem from Ngambo's controversial involvement in the Africa Cup of Nations final.
In the Afcon final held in January, Ngambo was the referee when Senegal walked off against Morocco. This incident has led to a legal dispute over the tournament winner, which is set to be decided by the Court of Arbitration for Sport.
