But why? Is it that we don’t have the good quality of referees or what. one surprisingly part is that some named referees were used in the qualifying stages but today the story is that they have been left out. It’s not fair!!!!!!!!!
CORUPT CAF EVEN IN WORLD CUP QUALIFIER SECOND ROUND ZAMBIANS REFEREE WERE NOT THERE, & I WAS SHOCKED TO SEE REFEREES FROM DJIBOUTI, SOMLIA, ERITREA, GAMBIA, NAMIBIA, BENIN, MAURITANIA HANDLING CRUCIAL GAMES & THATS WHY THERE WERE FLASHING RED CARDS ANY WHERE THATS WHY TEAMS LIKE GHANA, NIGERIA & ALGERIA WERE LUCK TO BEAT COMOROS, SWAZILAND & TANZANI.
Just another avenue for Hayatou to ensure that Africa is only represented by West and North Africa at the Olympics. I guess the saying “know which side your bread is buttered” holds water.
Not even South Africans .
caf is ful of corrupt officials includin issa hayatu.surely not even zimbabwe nd s/africa.these fools they trust w/africans nd n/africans.to hell with them
At least there is no referee from Ghana and Nigeria. so why the hatred?
Lmao…..,Wailing wailers are at it again. The blame game is on as usual. Nigeria and ghana must be responsible for the exclusion of zambia refs………… Clowns.
Continue with your blame game and conspiray theory 2018 is almost here.
coward. wen naija draws u disappear but wen they win u appear in a boastful way
Good,let’s hope z refs. will change their biasness.They’d favour certain clubs forgetting that the world is watching,hence reducing themselves to amateurs.
Not a big deal. CAF has just confirmed Jan Sikazwe will handle the CAF Confederation Cup final match between Orlando Pirates vs Etoire Du Sahel of Tunisia in Soweto Saturday night
Its not a big deal. There are more important tournaments underway.
Its GLOBAL even South Africa is not there.
