Jiyed first won his FIFA badge in 2009 and has since been officiating international matches for the past 14 years.
He will be assisted by compatriots Lahsen Azgaou (Assistant I), Mostafa Akarkad (Assistant II) and Karim Sabry (Fourth Official).
Meanwhile, South Sudan’s Makur Majok Mabil has been named as the Match Commissioner while Alberto Daniel Razafitsitamy from Madagascar works as Referee Assessor. Uganda’s Ali Mwebe is the General Coordinator with Siyabulela Andisiwe Gantsho from South Africa set for the role of Security Officer.
