RAG provisionally suspends 74 Ghanaian referees over misconduct

The Referees Association of Ghana has provisionally suspended referees captured on cameras in Anas Aremeyaw Anas’ investigative documentary, pending investigations.

They were seen accepting bribes to manipulate match results.

The 74 suspended officials include six Fifa referees, 21 Premier League referees and assistant referees and ten referees in the Division One League.

"The Referees Association of Ghana (RAG) wish to inform all stakeholders of the game of football and the general public that the underlisted referees, assistants referees and retired referees whose names came up in the Anas Aremeyaw Anas exposé have been provisionally suspended pending the final determination of their case by the disciplinary committee of RAG," a statement signed by deputy secretary Kwao Sampson read.
