Since the end of the 2014/2015 Premier League season, there have been unnecessary wranglings over the number of referees, both middle and lines, who should be enlisted to handle matches of the top leagues this 2015/2016 football season.
The wranglings were so intense that it took the intervention of the GFA President Kwasi Nyantakyi to solve. This was quite unnecessary if the system had been allowed to work.
Fact is, Ghana’s football had benefited from a perfect long-standing tradition of refereeing recruitment, training and administration in the country. The Referees Association of Ghana (RAG) has always been responsible for referee recruitment, training and development.
