Programme Promoted to Red Card Rules in Referee Salary in Ghana
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has implemented a new programme that links referee salaries to the number of red cards issued during matches. The programme, which was introduced at the start of the 2023 season, is designed to reduce the incidence of violent conduct and improve the overall quality of officiating.
Under the new rules, referees will receive a bonus for each match in which they do not issue a red card. The bonus will be added to their base salary, which is currently set at GHS 500 per match.
The GFA believes that the new programme will provide referees with a financial incentive to avoid issuing red cards, thereby reducing the number of violent incidents on the pitch. The association also hopes that the programme will improve the overall quality of officiating by encouraging referees to make more accurate and consistent decisions.
The introduction of the new programme has been met with mixed reactions from referees. Some referees have welcomed the change, arguing that it will help to improve their performance and make the game safer for players. Other referees have expressed concerns that the programme could put them under undue pressure to avoid issuing red cards, even when they are warranted.
The GFA has defended the new programme, arguing that it is necessary to address the problem of violence in Ghanaian football. The association has also pointed out that the programme is not intended to prevent referees from issuing red cards when they are necessary.
The results of the new programme are still being monitored, but the GFA is hopeful that it will have a positive impact on the quality of officiating and the overall safety of the game.
