The ultimate Group A �clash� of the premier club competition is slated for the NKoloma Stadium in the Zambian capital, Lusaka.Information gathered by GNA Sports from the CAF Secretariat in Cairo, Egypt, indicates that the 34-year old Lamptey will be assisted on the lines by compatriots Salifu Malik and David Laryea. Takoradi-based Cecil Fleischer will act as the fourth official. Ref. Lamptey, an official of the Ghana Immigration Service (GIS) is arguably the busiest Ghanaian �Knight of the Whistle� this year.
