The world’s football governing body has confirmed receipt of a protest from South Africa and has given Ghana an ultimatum to respond to accusations
Fifa has officially confirmed receipt of a protest filed by South Africa Football Association on November 15 after losing a World Cup qualifier 1-0 against Ghana.
The Bafana Bafana were hoping to avoid defeat in order to top Group G but a Andre Ayew goal from a penalty awarded Ghana won the day for the Black Stars. The results means that South Africa’s ambitions to play at the mundial was dashed.
According to FIFA’s communique, Ghana have up to November 20 to respond to all allegations leveled against them by South Africa.
Also, the Disciplinary Committee of Fifa will begin work on the issue on November 23 before a final ruling is made public days later.
Per the Fifa letter sighted by AshesGyamera.com only documents submitted by the two parties involved in the case [South Africa and Ghana] will be used in making a decision.
South Africa are hoping Fifa nullifies the result and set a new date for the match at a neutral ground.
