A total of 18 referees and 21 linesman have been named to officiate matches at the African Nations Cup finals, which includes South Africans Daniel Bennett and Zakhele Siwela.
.
It is an experienced group as there are only two changes to the list of referees and eight new assistants from the last finals in Equatorial Guinea in 2012.
.
The list includes two men who have refereed previous AFCON finals, Mali's Komlan Coulibaly from 2010 in Angola and Badara Diatta of Senegal who officiated last year's final clash between Zambia and Ivory Coast in Libreville.
.
Coulibaly, 42, will set the record for the most finals officiated at when he takes the pitch in South Africa. This will be his seventh tournament since he first won a call-up to the Nations Cup panel in the year 2002.
