Ghana FA boss to take up refereeing at CAF meeting

Ghana FA boss Kwasi Nyantakyi

By Ameenu Shardow

Ghana FA boss Kwasi Nyantakyi says he will raise the issue of poor refereeing on the African continent at a CAF Executive Committee meeting next week.

The Black Stars were subjected to woeful officiating in the 1-0 win over Malawi in the 2013 African Cup of Nations qualifier on October 13 in Lilongwe.

The Ghanaian players were consistently hacked down by the Flames with Sudanese referee Abdel Khalid Rahman issuing absolutely no cards for the persistent fouls.

Rahman’s performance amongst others have got football fans worried about the level of declining refereeing on the continent especially with the Nations Cup just around the corner.

And Nyantakyi, a CAF Executive Committee member disclosed the issue will be again revisited at a scheduled CAF meeting next week in South Africa.

“Of course, we don’t speak on these issues in the media but it is thoroughly discussed during CAF meetings,” he told Kumasi-based Kessben FM.

“Even FIFA is particular on the protection of players on the field of play so it is something we will discuss at a CAF meeting next week.”

    KUDOS BUT IF YOU HAVE A COPY OF THE GAME FORCE THEM TO SIT THROUGH IT AND WITNESS THAT EYESORE REFERING FOR THEMSELVES.

    • Kay says:

      While you are at it, raise the issue of the bribed-referee from Tunisian in the Zambia game, and the Liberian referee in our friendly. Very important. Every country want to cheat to beat Ghana, from World Cup to African football.

  2. Paul says:

    Ghana has always fallen victim to bad officiatin in africa nd the world too. All the world cups we have won were all won with miracles. We hv been denied on several occasions. FA BOSS, FIGHT TIL U WIN.

    • Kay says:

      You are 100% correct. Remember the under20 WC? red card in the first few minutes in the game?
      We have four times played with ten players against Brazil. True, I am not kidding.
      Remember Suarez? that guy should have been banned for a long time.
      At AFCON 2012, Ghana suffered karate football from Guinea, in fact Dede was kicked across the chest.

  3. zambians are pigs says:

    WAS THERE NOT A MATCH COMMISIONER?WHY DID HE NOT RAISE THE ISSUE WITH HIM.
    NYANTAKYI HAS BEEN THE BIGGEST BENEFICIALLY OF GHANA FOOTBALL,RAKING IN THOUSANDS OF DOLLARS FROM THE GFA,CAF AND TAKING BRIBES FROM FOREIGN TEAMS AND TELL COCK AND BULL STORIES AS WE SAW BEFORE THE AFCON 2012 WHEN HE AND HIS COHORTS AT THE GFA TOOK BACK HAND FROM MARSEILLE AND UDINESE TO KEEP THE AYEWS,KWADWO ASAMOAH AND AGYEMAN BADU FOR THEIR SO CALLED IMPORTANT MATCHES AT THE EXPENSE OF OUR PREPARATION FOR THE AFCON 2012.
    IN THE END PLAVI WAS SACKED BUT NOBODY MENTION THAT BY NYANTAKTYI LED ADMINISTRATION AGREEING TO UDINESE AND MARSEILLE TO USE SOME OUR BEST FOUR PLAYERS FOR THIER IMPORTANT MATCHES HAS A PART TO PLAY IN THE ABYSMAL PERFORMANCE OF THE TEAM.
    NYANTAKYI ALSO BENEFIT FROM INTERNATIONAL MATCHES STAGED IN THE UK,USA ETC,AS HE USE IT TO SHIP HIS RELATIVES AND FRIENDS TO THOSE COUNTRIES AND THOSE WHO ARE NOT RELATED,HE CHARGES BETWEEN $10,000 AND 15,000.Because his bussiness interest in south Africa,we are always have to camp in South Africa when we don’t have to.A clear case is when we played zambia.
    LOOK THE WAY THE MAIDENS WERE TREATED BEFORE THE WOMEN UNDER 17 TOURNEY,YET WHEN THEY WON BRONZE,HE WAS RUNNING HIS MOUTH AND TAKING UNDUE CREDIT.
    Nyantakyi has lost the spark he had six tears ago and now chucking wealth.
    Time will catch with him.
