FIFA Disciplinary Committee to deliberate on SAFA’s replay request against Ghana Tuesday
The Federation of International Football Association (FIFA) Disciplinary Committee (DC) will on Tuesday start deliberations on South Africa’s replay request against the Black Stars of Ghana in the World Cup qualifiers.
The South African Football Association (SAFA) filed a protest asking FIFA DC to review officiating, especially the penalty decision awarded to Ghana by Senegalese referee Maguette Ndiaye in the last Group G encounter in the Africa qualifiers for the 2022 FIFA World Cup.
The Ghana Football Association has responded accordingly to FIFA through its General Secretary, Mr. Prosper Harrison Addo urging football’s world governing body to dismiss the protest lodged by SAFA which according to them was not properly done.

He noted that GETFund currently has a budget of 9 million cedis, and with proper adjustments, it should be possible for the fund to release about 100 million cedis every other year to support the policy.
Mr Iddrissu added that government is also committed to providing free tertiary education for all persons with disabilities.
He explained that the support will go beyond classroom learning and will include feeding and the provision of assistive learning devices for learners with special needs.

Ghana’s singing Prophet, Joseph Atarah, has released a video for his new song dubbed ‘Increase’. The video was directed and shot by renowned director, Sky Web.
The motivational video exhibits captivating dance moves, set against the vibrant and beautiful city of Accra. Prophet Atarah co-wrote the song with Nana Boateng.
Touching on the message during an interview on Hitz FM’s Daybreak Hitz, he said, ‘Increase’ is a motivational song telling people not to give up in their present situation. According to him, with determination and a relentless desire to succeed, God will make everything beautiful.
“As you trust in God’s plan, remember that ‘INCREASE’ is on the way. Just as seeds grow into harvest, your faith is growing into abundance. God’s got you, and His increase is surrounding you,” he added.
Prophet Atarah resigned from the military band in 2006 after an encounter with God to start his prophetic ministry and commenced his music journey about four years ago.
