Vincentia Amedome chosen to oversee Morocco-Cameroon semi-final in Rabat

Togolese international referee Vincentia Enyonam Amedome will take charge of the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations 2026 semi-final between Morocco and Cameroon at Stade Moulay El Hassan in Rabat on Wednesday evening.

Kick-off is scheduled for 20:00 GMT, with Amedome’s appointment putting Togo at the centre of one of the tournament’s most significant matches. Her selection is being viewed as another strong recognition of the quality of Togolese football, particularly in the field of refereeing.

Amedome has established herself as a prominent figure in African officiating. Known for her authority on the pitch, composure under pressure and impartial decision-making, she will be responsible for managing a high-profile meeting between two of the continent’s leading teams.

The match is expected to carry considerable intensity, with both Morocco and Cameroon competing for a place in the final. Amedome’s ability to remain calm and maintain control will be central to ensuring the semi-final is played fairly and without disruption.

She will be supported by Beninese assistant referee Nafissatou Yekini Shitou and Nigerien official Sakina Hamidou Alfa. Their appointments give the officiating team a broader regional representation for the eagerly anticipated fixture in Rabat.

Attention will therefore be focused not only on the players and the outcome but also on the all-female officiating team entrusted with directing the contest. Amedome’s presence at the head of the team represents a major moment for Togo at the 2026 Women’s Africa Cup of Nations.

The Togolese official’s role will be closely watched as Morocco and Cameroon meet in a semi-final described as a clash between two ambitious continental giants. Her decisions, positioning and management of the match will help shape an encounter carrying the hopes of both sides.

For Togo, the occasion offers another opportunity to showcase its standing in African football through one of its most respected referees. For the tournament, Amedome’s appointment adds further significance to a match already attracting widespread attention.

With the fixture taking place at Stade Moulay El Hassan, all eyes will turn to Rabat when the semi-final begins. Amedome will lead the officiating team, supported by Shitou and Hamidou Alfa, as Morocco and Cameroon contest their place in the final of the Women’s Africa Cup of Nations 2026.
