FIFA says it will not act on Ghana’s complaint about refereeing in a World Cup qualifying match last weekend.

The Ghana federation wanted its 0-0 draw in Uganda replayed, and also protested about South African referee Daniel Bennett and his assistants from Seychelles.

Ghana’s failure to win meant Egypt, which beat Republic of Congo 2-1 the next day, advanced to play in Russia.

FIFA says “no proceedings will be opened around the World Cup qualifier match Uganda vs. Ghana.”

Ghana believed two goals were disallowed for incorrect offside decisions. Replays suggested a stoppage-time goal should have counted.

The request followed FIFA last month ordering a replay of a South Africa-Senegal qualifier played last year. Ghanaian referee Joseph Lamptey was later found guilty of fixing and banned for life.

  1. FIFA! Powerful that you are, you (manngement thereof) are still human. Impermeable to reason because “no court”. I believe the powerful people who run this powerful organisation profess religion of some sort hence, the fear of their Lord and our Lord should constantly ring in their hearts. The decision not to take action on Ghana’s petition is unfortunate. The way Sepp Blatter & a few others exitted the mysterious corridors of FIFA has not been informing enough. We’re waiting & watching for the day when God will Himself red card those concerned in a more disgraceful manner than the manner Sepp Blatter, etc. Shame, FIFA, shame.

  2. What moderation has FIFA exhibited in name fairness in the matter under review? If my comment won’t b published my Lord & your Lord forever suffices.

  3. Behold!! “A Daniel” Came Not To Judgement!!! Thou Shalt Not Rob Thy Neighbour; For It Is Injurious To The Greatest Sports Of Soccer!! A Time To Think.
