Ghanaian assistant referee Roland Nii Dodoo Addy has touched down in Egypt to participate in the final preparatory camp for referees ahead of the 2025 African Nations Championship (CHAN), set to begin in August.

The camp, organised by CAF’s Refereeing Department, brings together a select group of elite officials from across the continent for intensive training. It will focus on physical conditioning, technical analysis, and in-game decision-making—all critical elements to ensure top officiating standards during the tournament.

For Dodoo Addy, this call-up is a significant milestone in a career that continues to ascend steadily. Known for his calm demeanor, sharp decision-making, and consistent performances in both domestic and continental competitions, he has become one of Ghana’s most respected assistant referees. His inclusion in the CHAN officiating team reflects CAF’s growing confidence in Ghanaian match officials.

CHAN, a competition reserved for players who feature in their national leagues, also serves as a proving ground for rising refereeing talent. With the spotlight on the continent’s best emerging footballers, the tournament offers a parallel opportunity for referees like Dodoo Addy to showcase their expertise on a major platform.

Ghana will be watching with pride and expectation, hoping Dodoo Addy not only excels in Egypt but also carries the nation’s flag high during the championship.
