Africa-Press – Liberia. Mensah is expected to be assigned more matches, potentially boosting Liberia’s presence on the continental football stage.
Liberian referee Emmanuel Mensah has been widely praised for his impressive officiating during the ongoing 2025 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) Under-20 tournament in Egypt.
Mensah served as the center referee in the match between Tunisia and Kenya, where he made a crucial penalty decision in first-half stoppage time after consulting the Video Assistant Referee (VAR). His confident and fair officiating earned him positive reviews from fans and observers.
This was Mensah’s second appearance in the tournament. He previously served as the fourth official in the opening match between Ghana and DR Congo.
Mensah’s performance is being hailed as a reflection of progress in Liberian refereeing, with credit going to the Liberia Football Association (LFA) under President Mustapha Raji, who has prioritized referee development through training and international exposure.
With the tournament ongoing, Mensah is expected to be assigned more matches, potentially boosting Liberia’s presence on the continental football stage.
