THE vice president of the Ghana Football Association(GFA) and business mogul Mr. Mark Addo has charged Ghanaian football referees to showcase professionalism in the upcoming Ghana football domestic campaign.

The GFA, in conjunction with Football's world governing body, FIFA is organizing a 4-day Integrity Seminar for 311 referees who will be officiating in the forthcoming 2019/20 season which kick starts this month.

Present at the opening ceremony was Mark Addo who has urged the referees to strive for professionalism.

Since the airing of the Number 12 expose, referees in the country have had a dented image.

The current football association have embarked on an image redemption exercise of match referees and hence the integrity seminar.

Over 70 referees were caught on tape either receiving bribes of facilitating to get match officials manipulated.
