The Following match played in Qatar against Portugal on November 24, 2022, the Ghana Football Association (GFA) sent a petition to FIFA.
The Ghana Football Association petition is based on significant rulings rendered by Moroccan referee Ismail Elfath, who is stationed in America, including the penalty awarded to Portugal's national team that has been the topic of the day.
In the 62 minutes of play, with the score still tied, referee Ismail awarded Christiano Ronaldo a highly contentious penalty for challenging Black Stars defender Salisu Mohammed. Due of this, football fans and analysts have stated that referee Ismail should have consulted the video.
Before making the decision to award a penalty, the assistant referee (VAR) must first make a decision.
The Black Stars lost their opening World Cup game, and the Ghana Football Association has petition FIFA to reconsider the penalty and some of Ismail's crucial selections.
The team and Ghanaians are unhappy with the referee's performance and are expecting for an urgent response from FIFA.
