Senegalese referee Issa Sy has been appointed by the Confederation of African Football (CAF) to handle the highly anticipated CAF Champions League encounter between Rivers United and RS Berkane, BSNSports.com.ng reports.

The crucial Group Stage fixture is scheduled for Friday at the Goodwill Akpabio Stadium in Uyo, as both sides look to strengthen their positions early in the campaign.

Rivers United will be aiming to bounce back in front of their home supporters following their disappointing outing last weekend, while Moroccan giants RS Berkane will hope to build on their impressive start to the competition.

The appointment of the experienced Senegalese official is expected to ensure a fair and tightly controlled contest, considering the high stakes and competitive nature of the tie.

Fans are expected to troop out in numbers as the Nigerian representatives seek to secure maximum points in Uyo.
