The Confederation of African Football (CAF) have announced that Cameroonian match official has been assigned to handle the Africa Cup of Nations 2019 final between Algeria and Senegal on Friday.
Both Algeria and Senegal have made it to the final showdown of the biggest game on the continent after overcoming each of Nigeria and Tunisia respectively.
Despite his young age, Alioum has a lot of experience when it comes to African football as he was in charge of several big games since 2010. In 2013 he took charge of the Cairo Derby in CAF Champions League.
Alioum, with two of his assistant referees in Evarist Menkouande and Elvis Nguegoue, will handle the final game along with Sudanese Walid Ali as third assistant. Eric Castane will act as the fourth official.
The 37-year-old referee had been in charge of officiating AFCON 2019 opener between Egypt and Zimbabwe, the game which saw the Pharaohs win 1-0.
