World football-governing body, FIFA has picked Ivorian official Noumandiez Doue as referee for next month’s 2014 FIFA World Cup qualifying match between the Super Eagles of Nigeria and Kenya’s Harambee Stars in Nairobi.
Doue, will be joined by compatriot Songuifolo Yeo and Burundian Jean-Claude Birumushahu  as assistant referees for  the game scheduled for Wednesday, June the 5th at the MOI International Sports Centre, Kasarani.
The same venue hosted the 2010 FIFA World Cup qualifier between both countries, where the Super Eagles needed a win and also needed Mozambique to hold Tunisia in Maputo same day, to qualify for the showpiece in South Africa.
Referee Doue was at the center when the Super Eagles defeated Rwanda 2-nil in a 2013 Cup of Nations qualifier in Calabar 11 months ago, and also when the Eagles drew 2-2 with Guinea’s Syli Nationale in Abuja on October 2011 in a 2012 cup of nations qualifying game.
