Kenya is set to be represented at the first-ever 32-team Club World Cup in the USA after referee Stephen Yiembe earned a coveted spot among the match officials.
Yiembe, who continues his steady ascent up the ranks of match officials, is the only referee in the East Africa region to make the cut.
The referee is among 117 other match officials who will take charge of matches at the Club World Cup, set to take place between June 14 and July 13, 2025.
Yiembe will be one of the many linesmen officiating at the tournament that features global stars like Erling Haaland from Manchester City and Kylian Mbappe from Real Madrid, both of whom will participate in the event.
