SAFA vs Ghana saga: SAFA president Danny Jordan describes GFA as immature and inexperienced

Published on: 02 December 2021

South Africa Football Association (SAFA) boss, Danny Jordan has described the Ghana Football Association as immature and inexperienced ahead of Fifa ruling on the case of alleged match manipulation filed by the SAFA

Jordan was unhappy with Senegalese referee Ndiaye Maguette, who was at the centre of controversy when he awarded a dubious penalty to Ghana in the first half which Andre Ayew converted, sending Ghana to the playoff round.

SAFA is seeking a replay and also pressing for Maguette to be handed a lifetime ban from officiating which will include next year's World Cup.

"You cannot be schooled by a primary school teacher when you are a university professor. We have organized a World Cup. It was voted the best ever World Cup on the African continent."

"We cannot be schooled by people who are just in their first year in administration and so we kept quiet," Jordan told Robert Marawa in an interview.

FIFA is expected to make a decision on the match in the coming days before the draw for the play-offs.
