Egyptian referee Ghead Grisha has been appointed as centre referee for the October 9 World Cup qualifier between the Chipolopolo of Zambia and the Super Eagles of Nigeria.
Grisha who officiated the controversial first round match between Zambia and Nigeria at the 2013 Nations cup which Nigeria eventually won beating Burkina Faso in the final, was axed by the confederation of Africa football after some of his questionable decisions earned Zambia an undeserved 1-1 draw on the day.
Now, the same referee has been called upon by the confederation of Africa football, to once again officiate a match involving Zambia and Nigeria with memories of what happened in 2013 still fresh in his head.
Grisha is not happy that Nigeria protested to CAF over his performance in that match three years ago and now sees the game in Ndola on October 9 as a perfect platform to pay
back Nigeria in their own coin.
The match with Zambia is the first in a series of games lined up for the super Eagles in group B, as they begin the journey to the 2018 World Cup in Russia.
Hmmmm..... i hope dis nff people will act fast before October 9 or else our world cup dream could be dashed.
