The Referees Association of Ghana (RAG) has lifted the ban on referees who were captured in the famous Anas Aremeyaw Anas number 12 video exposé.
On June 6, 2020, a renowned Ghanaian investigative journalist, Anas Aremeyaw Anas released an exposé where referees and top officials in Ghana football were captured collecting bribes.
This led to the suspension of over seventy referees and the dissolution of the then Ghana Football Association led by former CAF first vice President Kwesi Nyantakyi who was handed a lifetime ban by FIFA.
Two year down the line, the Referees Association of Ghana has lifted the ban on the referees who were captured in the video.
According to RAG, the decision has been taken after its Congress and the date for the pardoned was January 1, 2022.
This means that the referees have been cleared to register for the county’s football season.
