This match, numbered 34 in the qualification series, is scheduled to take place at El Jadida-Stade El Abdi in Morocco on the 8th of September, 2024. Hollan-Cole’s appointment to such a pivotal fixture highlights his extensive experience and respected standing within African football circles.

In a parallel appointment, Prince Kai Saquee, another respected official within SLFA, has been selected to oversee match No. 42 in the AFCON qualifiers, where Liberia will face off against Algeria. This match is set to be held at the Samuel Kayon Doe Sports Complex in Paynesville on the 10th of September, 2024.
