Great Olympics coach Jimmy Cobblah charged by GFA for his remarks regarding match officials.
Accra Great Olympics coach, Jimmy Cobblah, has been charged by the Ghana Football Association (GFA) for comments made after their close defeat to Nations FC at the Dr. Kwame Kyei Sports Complex on Friday, April 5, 2024.
Cobblah alleged that referee Benjamin Sefah’s decisions during the match favored the hosts, leading to their stoppage-time goal by Razak Simpson from a free-kick.
Speaking to StarTimes after the game, he said: “The referee came to win for them. Right from the beginning I came to the match commissioner.”
“I told the fourth referee, look he (the center referee) has declared his intention too early. I mean unacceptable, unacceptable referee today.”
The FA has claimed the comments of Cobblah “constitutes misconduct that brings the name of the game into disrepute” and has given the Olympics coach until Wednesday, April 10 2024 to respond to the charges.
