Former Ghana League Clubs Association (GHALCA) chairman, Kudjoe Fianoo, has called for the resignation of FA Cup chairman, Wilson Arthur, following his controversial remarks about mystical influences in Ghanaian football.
After the Round of 16 matches over the weekend, Arthur claimed that clubs use spiritual means to manipulate match outcomes and influence refereeing decisions.
He suggested that referees, players, and coaches are often affected by these supernatural practices.
“The league has so many matches with significant stakes,” he told Asempa FM on Monday. “People must understand that it’s competitive, and some see such means as part of the process to win. Referees are always put under a spell. The referees are worked on, the players and coaches are worked on spiritually,” he added.
However, Fianoo strongly opposed these statements, insisting that such claims are inappropriate for someone in Arthur’s position.
“The chairman of the FA Cup (Wilson Arthur) committee should resign for making unguarded statements,” he told Asempa FM.
