Confederation of African Football (CAF) has
banned Tunisian referee, Slim Jdidi after his
controversial performance in Wednesday’s
semi-final between Burkina Faso and Ghana. Secretary General of CAF, Hicham el-Amrani,
said the continental body is not happy with
the standard of refereeing in the match and
Jdidi has been asked to step aside. Among the
contentious issues during Wednesday’s match
was the red card given to Burkina Faso forward Jonathan Pitroipa that could mean
he will miss Sunday’s final against Nigeria. The referee also awarded a soft spot kick to
Ghana in a display which threatened to
overshadow an exciting encounter. CAF has
however admitted the appeal of the
Burkinabe football federation for suspended
striker Jonathan Pitroipa. Pitroipa was sent off after receiving a
second yellow card by Tunisia referee slim
Jdidi for simulation, even though Ghana’s John
Boye appeared to make contact with him. CAF
Secretary-General said the organising
committee will study the match report sent in by the Tunisian official before taking any
decision.
