GFA Disciplinary Committee charges Anim Addo over complaints about referee Hanson

Young Apostles President, Samuel Anim Addo, has been charged with misconduct by the Ghana Football Association Disciplinary Committee for a social media post complaining about referee Maxwell Hanson.

The former GFA Executive Council member described Hanson as the man chosen by the FA for their ‘dirty’ jobs which has put the integrity of the league into disrepute.

“I sounded the alarm bells months ago, but my concerns were vehemently dismissed. Leadership within Ghana Football attempted to silence me at every turn,” he wrote on X (former Twitter) as he frowned on the decisions of the referee in question during the Ghana Premier League game between Dreams FC and Accra Lions.

Anim Addo also alleged the FA threatened to ensure Young Apostles are relegated following his concerns over officiating in the top flight.

Shortly after his post, the GFA’s Disciplinary Committee stated in a presser that Anim Addo’s comments constituted misconduct and brought the reputation of the Ghana league into disrepute.

The seasoned football administrator has until Monday, January 13, 2024, to officially respond to the charges leveled against him by the committee.
