CAF suspends Tunisian referee who handled Ghana vs Burkina Faso

By Ifreke Inyang

The Confederation of African Football (CAF), has suspended Slim Jedidi, who handled the controversial semi-final match between Ghana and Burkina Faso on Wednesday.
However the body will have to look at the Tunisian’s match report on Friday, when CAF‘s executive committee meets, to determine if Jonathan Pitroipa’s red card can be rescinded.

“There is a meeting tomorrow (Friday) but you have to understand that the referee’s report is final and so if he doesn’t make mention of having made a mistake, it stays that way,” CAF Secretary General Hicham El Amrani, said at a press conference on Thursday afternoon.
“The other referee Bennett (Daniel) mentioned in his report that he made a mistake in issuing out a yellow card to the wrong player, which is why the yellow card was rescinded in that instance.”
Burkina Faso have already filed a complaint with CAF over the midfielder’s sending off.
