Ghana FA reacts to Kotoko supporters’ demand; names new referee to officiate Medeama encounter

The Porcupine Warriors supporters demanded for the change of the centre referee and their request has been met

Asante Kotoko’s away fixture against Medeama will see a new referee as Jones Akubiem has been named to replace Latif Adaara hours before kick off.

Adaari’s appointment saw protests from Kotoko supporters since that would’ve been his second time handling Medeama’s home game in a row since he was in action when Medeama thrashed Hearts of Oak 3-0 on matchday two.

“Referee Jones Akubiem will officiate the Ghana Premier League Day four match between Medeama SC and Asante Kotoko in Tarkwa,” a statement read.

“The Referees Committee initially appointed Daniel Laryea to officiate the midweek encounter but was changed after Referee Laryea reported that he had not recovered from an injury he suffered during the Day Three match between Dreams FC and Legon Cities over the weekend. 

“The Committee has therefore reviewed the appointment it after Mr Laryea’s unavailability and has now placed Jones Akubiem in charge of the match. All stakeholders are informed to take note of the change accordingly.”

Match Officials for the Match:

MEDEAMA Vs ASANTE KOTOKO

Venue: Tarkwa

Ref: Jones Akubiem

Asst 1: Courage Kuechufia

Asst 2: Shine Ayitey

4th Ref: Latif Adaari

C.K Akonnor has been tipped to become the new Black Stars coach.

Read why?: Kotoko supporters raise ‘red flag’ against referee Adaari ahead of Medeama clash

The Porcupine Warriors head to Tarkwa on  Wednesday but their supporters are already anticipating a plot against them to lose

A section of Asante Kotoko supporters have began a campaign on Social Media against the appointment of referee Latif Adaari who has been named to officiate their away fixture against Medeama at Akoon Park on Wednesday.

According to the supporters, it is quite surprising that Adaari will be in charge for the second home game of Medeama since he was in charge when the Yellow and Mauve humiliated Hearts of Oak 3-0 on matchday two of the Ghana Premier League.

In effect, it will means that Adaari will be the only referee to officiate all Medeama’s games at home so far.

It will be recalled that supporters of Kotoko allegedly clashed with the Police on Sunday following their side’s 1-0 home defeat to Berekum Chelsea leading to several warning shots fired by the security present.

One supporter was hit in the face and has lost one of his eye after undergoing surgeries at Komfo Anokye Teaching Hospital on Monday in Kumasi.

 

AshesGyamera.com understands that the supporters are planning to officially petition Ghana FA and Referees Appointment committee to act swiftly by changing Adaari before midday of Wednesday, January 15, 2020 in order not to bring the name of the game into disrepute.

Medeama are yet to taste a defeat in the ongoing campaign after picking two wins and a draw.
