A football match in the Ashanti regional capital, Kumasi, took a sad twist after a female referee was reportedly assaulted by a female footballer.
Referee Faizatu Jakpa was allegedly attacked and beaten up by a player of Fabulous Ladies in the Ghana Women’s League match between Fabulous Ladies and Kumasi Sports Academy.
The incident has left Jakpa with a swollen face and scratches on her face.
It is however unclear if the football club or player involved have been sanctioned.
