Football’s world governing body, FIFA, has appointed Germain Koole of Benin Republic as referee for the World Cup qualifying tie between the Super Eagles and their Swaziland counterparts.
Koole would be assisted by his compatriots Bienvenu Dina, Sena Ulrich Houedin and Gustave Eugene Tohouegnon as assistant 1, assistant 2 and fourth official respectively.
Mohamed Bahou from Morocco will serve as the referee assessor, with Joseph Nkole from Zambia to serve as match commissioner.
The Super Eagles, currently rated 52nd in the world, drew a bye in the Round One as the Sihlangu negotiated past Djibouti easily.
The Sihlangu sit in 135th place in the FIFA ranking.
While Nigeria has won three African titles and played at five previous World Cup finals, Swaziland has never qualified for any continental event, talk less the FIFA World Cup.
The Super Eagles will resume camping for the match in Abuja on Monday, November 9.
