The South African Football Association made an appeal to FIFA against Ghana in the World Cup qualifiers game that was staged at the Cape Coast Sports Stadium on Monday, 15th November 2021.
Ghanasportspage.com gathers from the corridors of FIFA that the protest by South Africa alleging complications with the Senegalese referee in the match against Ghana has been thrown into the bin after FIFA found no merit in the case.
The South African Football Association made an appeal to FIFA against Ghana in the World Cup qualifiers game that was staged at the Cape Coast Sports Stadium on Monday, 15th November 2021. They lost the match by a goal to nil but are contesting the game claiming it was not fair to them as decisions were cooked by the referee.
According to ghanasportspage.com FIFA has thrown out SAFA’s appeal and has paved the way for the Black Stars of Ghana to take part in the playoffs which is scheduled in January 2022.
Our source is told that a decision was to be made on the 25th of November 2021 but the world governing body is still waiting for the right time to announce the verdict.
The penalty awarded by Senegalese referee Ndiaye Maguette was calmly converted by Al Sadd skipper Andre Ayew following an incident that saw Leicester City’s defender Daniel Amartey pulled down in the 18 yard box.
South Africa is hoping for a rematch of the game that enabled the Black Stars to appear in the playoffs.
Ghana will likely draw one of these teams Algeria, Senegal, Morocco, Nigeria or Tunisia in the final round.
