I control referees but my clubs have been relegated why? – Kurt Okraku

President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Kurt Okraku, has described public rhetoric that seems to suggest some executive members of the Ghana Football Association influences referees in taking officiating decision in their clubs interest as false and destructive to the image of the association.

Although the President of the association, acknowledge that there are be problems with some match officiating decision in some football games, but are by no means a result of any influence by the GFA members.

Addressing the media in Sunyani the president said, “Along the line, you would have some challenges, you would have games where referees are challenged. You would also have games where things would go right. When referees get it wrong, there are laid down procedures. To hear about FA supporting a referee is a complete no.”

Clearing the persive public perception on match fixing at the GFA meet the press he further said, “I bought Kassena Nankana FC, I brought the team to Kintampo, and we went to relegation. This year Still Believe FC, has gone to relegation. Why? I don’t have the power? Don’t I have the special referees? Referees go into games as individuals; they read the laws of the game.”

Prior to this meeting, the GFA on multiple occasions have been accused of influencing match officiating for personal gains. Hence, the need for the press meet to quell the accusations and assure integrity and fairness of the games.

“..All I need is for all of you to help me in removing that “kancas”

However, what seemed to be harmless statements have fallen under scrutiny. Critics argue that the GFA President’s involvement in team ownership could compromise the impartiality of match officiating.

There are fears that referees, seeking to stay in the President’s good graces, might be influenced in their decisions on the field.

This situation could lead to biased officiating, ultimately affecting the integrity of the game.

This, argued, that this development could create an environment where match officials feel compelled to make decisions that align with the interests of the GFA President, rather than maintaining impartiality.

As the debate continues, football fans and analysts alike are watching closely to see how the GFA will address these concerns and what steps will be taken to safeguard the integrity of the game.
