Ghana's top referee Daniel Laryea failed to make the cut for 2019 Africa Cup of Nations in Egypt this month.

The 32-year-old had hope of officiating at the continent's flagship football event when he was named in a 24-man shortlist for the elite referees seminar in Morocco last month.

But despite his experience in recent CAF inter-clubs competitions, Laryea could not make the grades to be selected for the expanded tournament.

In the end, CAF settled on 26 centre referees and 30 assistant referees for the 21 June to 19 July showpiece.

It includes some of the finest Bamlak Tessema (Ethiopia), Gassama Bakary Papa (Gambia), Bernard Camille (Seychelles) and Janny Sikazue (Zambia).

Laryea, a FIFA badge holder, was selected for the CHAN tournament in Morocco in 2017.

He officiated at the 2017 African Youth Championship in Gabon and the 2017 WAFU Cup of Nations hosted by Ghana in September.
