FIFA To Rule On Zambian Police Attack On Black Stars

Ghana_ZambiaPresident of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Kwasi Nyantakyi, says his outfit has lodged an official complain to FIFA over the manhandling of some Black Stars players in Zambia last Saturday.

Midfielder, Derek Boateng, and striker, Ben Acheampong, were brutally assaulted by the Zambian Police after the World Cup qualifier between Ghana and Zambia which the latter won by a goal to nil.

Ghana and Zambia are two strong soccer countries who have enjoyed a healthy relationship until Saturday’s incident. Mr. Nyantakyi described the assault as unfortunate. He said the Zambian police bundled the Ghanaian lads away from the referee, when all they sought to do was to complain about what they felt was poor officiating against them.

    Hello, I am a Zambian who watched the Zambia-Ghana match in Ndola. I am appalled by the reaction of the Ghana FA and their report of the “brutal attack” by the Zambia Police. First, Ghanaians should just accept defeat gracefully because the referee was very fair. If Zambia had been more efficient they would would have scored three straight goals that afternoon. Ghana should just accept the fact that they have been beated by Zambia twice in a row. The Police: Is it the business of players to complain to a referee? I dont think so. There is no brutality in restraining irate Ghanaian players from confronting the referee…When one watches this clip, all that I see are attempts by our police to calm the situation. We are not a violent country like most countries in West Africa…Ghana should just accept that Zambia is a better team and the champions of Africa, and are destined to play at the World Cup in Brazil
