Ghana FA Referees' manager Alex Kotey facing SACK amid bribery allegation U-turn

GFA Referees’ Manager Alexander Kotey faces possible dismissal after retracting bribery allegations against former GFA vice-president George Afriyie.

Kotey initially claimed Afriyie tried to influence him during a past match but later withdrew the accusation under legal pressure, calling it a figment of his imagination.

His reversal has raised concerns over his credibility and the GFA’s integrity, leading to calls for his resignation.

The GFA Executive Council is considering his dismissal due to the potential damage to the association’s reputation.

The controversy highlights broader concerns about integrity in Ghanaian football, especially in referee management.

Kotey, a former FIFA referee and 2006 SWAG Referee of the Year, has had a respected career, but this scandal now threatens his position.
