'We urge for the dismissal of this purported protest with a punitive fine and a huge cost,' say the Ghana Football Association in a letter to Fifa.

Fifa announced this week that Safa’s protest will be heard on Tuesday, and Safa held a press conference on Wednesday in which former referee Ace Ncobo claimed the performance of referee Maguette Ndiaye and his assistants showed a clear pattern of bias. Ghana won the match at the Cape Coast Stadium 1-0 to progress to the final round of Fifa World Cup qualifying.
The GFA say Safa did not follow Fifa’s own rules in the manner of their complaint, and that it should therefore thrown out before any investigation can take place.
