The Confederation of African Football
(CAF) has banned Tunisian referee; Slim Jdidi following his
controversial performance in Wednesday’s semi-final match between Burkina Faso
and Ghana.
CAF Secretary General, Hicham el-Amrani
told journalists that they are not happy with the ‘standard of refereeing’
in the match and that Jdidi has been asked to step aside.
During the match which was played on Wednesday,
February 6, 2013, a contentious red card was awarded to the Burkina Faso
forward Jonathan Pitroipa which means he would miss the final game against
Nigeria on Sunday.
Another issue was the penalty kick Jdidi awarded
to Ghana.
Pitroipa had appealed the referee’s decision to
send him off in the semi-final match and CAF have admitted his appeal.
