Ghana Premier League clubs will observe a one minutes silence on Match Week 6 of the ongoing season to remember retired FIFA Referee L.O Lamptey who passed away earlier today.

The former Ghana Football Association (GFA) Referees Manager sadly died today after battling with a short illness.

In a bid to mourn the deceased, the Ghana FA has through a press statement appealed to clubs in the Ghana Premier League, the Division One League, and the Women’s League to observe a one minute silence for their upcoming matches.

“We humbly appeal to all clubs and match officials participating in GFA Elite Competitions to observe one minute silence and if possible wear black/red armbands for their upcoming matches in honor of former FIFA Referee and GFA Referees manager L.O Laryea who died on Tuesday, January 21, 2020”, a statement from the GFA signed by Sena Akoto-Ampaw read.

In line with that, all clubs will be expected to follow through to remember the referee who contributed his quota to promoting the sport in the country.
