Koman Coulibaly of Mali will referee the African Cup of Nations final between holders Egypt and Ghana in Luanda.
The 39-year-old, officiating at his fourth Cup of Nations tournament and on the shortlist for the World Cup in June, has been involved in controversy in the past.
Coulibaly awarded Cameroon a disputed stoppage-time penalty in their final 2006 World Cup qualifier against Egypt in Yaounde that, had they converted, would have taken them through to the finals.
The kick was missed by Pierre Wome and Ivory Coast went to Germany instead.
There is also a Facebook page, set up by angry Tunisian fans, that calls for the referee's removal from FIFA's list following his displays in matches involving their team.
Coulibaly will be assisted by Evarist Menkouande of Cameroon and Morocco's Achik Redouane.

its only football , and nothing but football,for egy gov to hide whats going on the boarder is haram,we all looking forward to watch -mobarek+his gay son geting shot by the real egyptian,to make way to el Qauds inchaalah,
QUES; IN WISH COUNTRY YOU DO NOT SEE JEWS???????????????????????????????????????????????.... .
Why are there algerians on every forum talking conspiracy theory rubbish? Is there no moderator here?
Now as many world football experts observed how the african referree system works for egypt and we wonder how team such cote d'ivoire cameroon ghana could not achieve their goals which is wining the CAF cup?
A simple remark where is the CAF based? cairo egypt so how could you expect those poor referees to be not influenced by the caf general secretary who is egyptian, how come egypt dont perform under fifa's referees (world cup qualifications) last qualification 1990.
It claire CAF is egypt nowonder they are wining with the help of referees.
We must all north africains west east south africain peoples stand a request a transfer of the CAF offices from egypt to south africa.
Egypt do not deserves the africains cup the prouf that they did not make it to the world cup for 20 years.
I wish the the Black Stars of Ghana the best of the game. Go and make West Africa proud!

Going bck to this ref ..I cannot imagine such a low rated unfair controversial ref Refereeing the final unless their is a point behind it!!! nI have seen him on many many occasions and he is defiantly a guy with some hidden agendas and defiantly preferring some African countries to others where are the referees from South Africa, Sichelle and others how come the CAF choose such a suspect referee for the final that remains behind me and to sick marylin i tell him give it a rest bro the show is already over for Algeria and mask has been finally uplifted and all this rubbish talk about Egypt being violent and so has been publicly exposed and everyone has seen how filthy the algerian players can be and how much hate they have against their god Egyptian masters!! go sleep
To all Algerians raving their team being in the WC ..well boys let me tell you this being in the WC is nothing if you don’t achieve sthing in it ..how many teams frm Africa have qualified to WC and left unknown to almost everyone?? do you recall in the last WC in Germany Togo, Tunisia and Angola all of them are minnows and will always remain so. and before that South Africa had a miserable WC that no one remembers ..dont ever try comparing yourselves to Egypt as you are miles and miles away frm reaching an inch of your godly masters and you reaching the WC by a fluky goal means absolutely nothing compared to reaching the continent’s most precious final game and for a 3rd consecutive time ..infact Egypt doesn’t need to speak abt itself anymore as everyone has already seen wht the Pharoes of the Nile have under their big hats and what the desert rats have under their filthy skin ..Go hm boys and forget abt that WC thing until u do sthing decent against England and USA otherwise ur just one more block in a pyramid!!
It is true that you are egyptians supporting Israel against arab. This website is asking for comments when you send a comment you ignore because you are a egyptian.be kind to everybody so that you have a nice website not only from algerie or egypt well send a comments.1-2-3- VIVA ALGERIE WE PLAY IN WORLD CUP THIS COMING JUNE:HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA HA
maybe the website support by egyptians always say low rating your are asking a comment,and you say low rating.
Egyptian you just win in cup of africa but never enter in cup of the world accept that you lost for the big events.What the peopl well say egyptians support the jews,maybe you are the terrorist.
To All Algerians And Egyptian,football is a game.I,m not a fans of football but i watch the game last november,egyptians player did not play for the sport,play for war.
Egyptians is cheating to make some score.How much did you pay for the game?
so from attcking algerians 2 football now they are attacking our identity saying a nation that hardly speaks arabic lol. each area has its own dialects, north africa, sham, khalij etc.. each area has had a different colonial past which obviously affects things, each nation has had previous inhabitants such as ur own country with the coptics. so try to educate urself please and please please let your country who thinks they are the leaders of the arab, well if ur the leaders show us how to behave then, instead of still going on about a match, goodness me give it a rest and concentrate on other worldly problems like ur goverment.
jedi.
we don't think we are superior. maybe it is you who have inferiority complex. It appears in your accusation of Egyptians in being allies to the Jews and treasury of arabic nations, it is funny to hear this from a nation that hardly speaks arabic. We don't think of no one as superior, it is your issues mainly. The cruel long french occupation of Algeria has left the algerians really scard emotionlly and their patrotism has gone psychopathic and irrational. They even cheered against the french algerian zidan in a friendly match calling him a traitor!!....There are psychos everywhere though, egyptians algerians and everywhere. We arabs are making all jokes of ourselves.
faith,, u r rigth but the egyptiens doesn't understand that, they think they are superior to all others Arabs, how can we discuss with such of people. This why all others Arabs doesn't like them they are too pretentious.
Since last November they are offensing Algerian people and after that they say they are educated(yes egyptchiens education).
Reading the above comments. I see these people have nothing to do except insulting and cursing each other. Are u having a good job ? are u living in our own country in prosperity or been traveling via the deatch boat to reach europe?
Come on, raise your level of thinking "brothers", let's not forgetting our misery at the hands of our leaders "bouteflika and mubarek and the rest ...". I tell u something, my son plays here london for chelsea team. His teammates treat him like an arab, not an algerian or egyptian. Come think twice about these comments!
I am an ex-professional player and love football, for me football match is a match like other other matches. Loses and winners is part of the game.
Never seen or heard so much stupidity from so much frustrated people who have nothing useful to say and nothing useful to do. How can a football game raise so much hatred? You Arab people hate each other and you expect others to respect you?
For Christ Sake, Egypt is not winning the world cup. What's all the fuss about winning games in the African Cup?
Algeria the country wth no history and no cluture, no wonder when they act like that!!!!
they lose from Malawi3-0, they blame the weather,
they lose form Egypt4-0, they blame the reff.
they win hardly 1-0 against a weak team like Mali, they think they won the AFCON !!!
they dont know what s the meaning of sport and take it as a war, when they felt that the Egyptian team r better than them by far, they showed their real behavior and manner and kept hitting the egyptian players everywhere like crazy.
they lost 4-0, they keep crying everywhere like women.
Oh my God, Algerians are still crying like women!!!! come on it s just a game, get over it and stop crying on all sport websites !!! Algerians be civilized for only once in ur barbaric history...... even France say that u r the most violent and barbaric people in the world and that s why u r being treated there as second class people..... u have become the ppl with a very bad reputation
