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.
Football world’s governing body, FIFA, in a statement with regard to the protest said: “We wish to inform the South African Football Association as well as the Ghana Football Association that the above-mentioned protest would be submitted to a member of the FIFA disciplinary Committee on 23 November 2021 for consideration and decision in accordance with art.14 (9) of the Regulations FIFA World Cup 2022, preliminary competition as well as arts. 46 and 54 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code (FDC).
“In view of the foregoing, the Ghana Football Association has the opportunity to provide the secretariat of the FIFA Disciplinary Committee with any comments it deems appropriate on the aforementioned protest, if any, by 20 November 2021 at the latest, along with any document deemed necessary.
“Finally, for the sake of clarity, please be informed that the FIFA Disciplinary Committee will decide on the protest using the file in its possession. (cf.art.20 par. 5 of the FDC).” -GNA
The Tema Regional Police Command has arrested a 32-year-old man for allegedly posing as a soldier and extorting money from unsuspecting members of the public at Ashaiman.
The suspect, identified as Bright Atsu Kudiabor, was arrested by the Ashaiman Police on Wednesday, September 16, 2026, at about 7:00 a.m.
According to the Police, he was arrested at an area known as “I Shall Return”, where he was allegedly parading himself as a soldier and demanding money from people.
The Police said Kudiabor, who is an ex-convict, was initially arrested by personnel of the Ghana National Fire Service in Ashaiman with assistance from other members of the public.
A search conducted on him after he was handed over to the Police reportedly led to the recovery of a set of military camouflage uniform.
The suspect is currently in Police custody and assisting with investigations.
The Tema Regional Police Command said he would be processed for court after investigations are completed.
The Police urged the public to remain vigilant and report anyone who falsely presents themselves as a soldier or a member of another security agency to deceive or extort money from the public.

Volta Regional Minister, James Gunu, says the Volta Region holds enormous agricultural potential and efforts must be geared towards connecting farmers to the needed resources to unlock that potential.
He said focus must be on linking farmers to resources, technology, financing and markets to increase production, create jobs and build sustainable livelihoods.
Hon. Gunu made the remarks at the national launch of the Ghana Tomato Self-Sufficiency Initiative (GHATSI) held at Anloga in the Volta Region on Tuesday, September 15.
The initiative, under the theme “Produce at Home. Feed the Nation. Export the Surplus,” seeks to boost local tomato production, processing and marketing while reducing Ghana’s heavy reliance on imported tomatoes.
The launch was attended by the Minister for Food and Agriculture, Eric Opoku, his Deputy, John Setor Dumelo, Feed Ghana Coordinator, Bright Demordzi, Members of Parliament, traditional leaders, MMDCEs, farmers and other stakeholders.
Mr.Gunu expressed appreciation to the Minister for Food and Agriculture for the support announced for the region, including two excavators, 200 cartons of organic fertiliser, and GH¢200,000 for Ms. Kuatudzo Esther Dela, a tomato farmer and processor from Ziope.
He described the initiative as an important step towards making agriculture a stronger driver of food security, job creation and economic growth in the Volta Region.
