Alioum Sidi, a copy made perfect for the opening match of Can 2019
On the card for the inauguration of the Can 2019 total in the land of the pyramids, Egypt # Zimbabwe, the Cameroonian referee received an honorable mention on June 21st. It must be said, at the Cairo stadium, Alioum Sidi made a perfect copy of the match. For the 90 minutes that marked the time of the game, the Cameroonian international referee led the clean and flawless face-off. At his side was his compatriot Evariste Mekouandé as assistant n ° 1. He ensured the physical integrity of the 22 actors. Sidi did not give in to the public pressure of the Pharaohs even less to the presence of superstar Mohamed Salah. In the past, he was the only Cameroonian chosen by Fifa at the 2014 Brazil World Championship. This 7th participation in the Can makes him the dean of the African referees at the Can. Thus, the Cameroonian was one of the attractions of the opening meeting of the Egyptian Can, according to many observers present in Cairo. The senior referee makes a good impression.
