Letticia Viana extends Egypt stay for CAF course

Letticia Viana, Eswatini’s international video match official, will remain in Egypt for an additional week after the CAF Women’s Champions League. She is due to take part in the Elite A course preparing for the group stages of club competitions, according to the Times of Eswatini, citing CAF.

Eswatini’s Letticia Viana, a video match official, will extend her stay in Egypt by a week after the CAF Women’s Champions League, according to the Times of Eswatini. She will then take part in the Elite A interclub group-stage preparation course of the Confederation of African Football (CAF), which brings together officials from Egypt, South Africa, Morocco and Kenya, among others.

The programme is intended to prepare video match officials for the demands of CAF club competitions and promote their technical development. Viana has already officiated this year as an assistant VAR official at the AFCON final between Senegal and Morocco, the CAF Champions League final between Mamelodi Sundowns and AS FAR, and the Women’s AFCON final between Cameroon and Malawi. She then received eight appointments at the FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup in Poland, including the semi-final between Italy and Spain.

The CAF women’s interclub competition is taking place from 1 to 15 November 2026 in Egypt. Viana’s selection for the course comes after her five VAR appointments at the FIFA U20 Women’s World Cup announced in September.
