MBABANE – Eswatini’s leading Video Match Official, Letticia Viana, will extend her stay in Egypt for another week after completing her assignment at the CAF Women’s Champions League.
Viana is currently in Egypt, where she has been officiating at the continental women’s club competition, which runs from November 1 to 15, 2026. Following the conclusion of the tournament, she will remain in the North African country to attend CAF’s Elite A Interclub Group Stage Preparation Course.
