Newly appointed GFA Referees Manager, Mr. Alex Quartey has spoken about the bad image Ghanaian referees had during the Anas Exposé.

Mr. Alex Quartey was appointed as a Referees Manager on Tuesday, 26 May 2020.

In an interview with Gattuso on Kingdom Fm All Sports, Mr. Alex Quartey revealed that the explosive documentary has dented the image of referees in the country.


"It affected us and it was not only Ghanaian referees but other foreign referees was involved during the WAFU tournament.

"It was a blow to African Football and I think all the referees have learnt something from it. I think it has just awakened us up and it is there to guide us so that we will not go back to it again."

He advised the referees and all Ghanaian Football bodies for not going back to it but to think about the positive.

"We must rather be looking at the positive. Let's promote the positive. I have been offered money before but I reported on that. It is gone and we don't need to always go back for the past, the past is there to guide us. What is in front is needed most."He ended.
