The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has announced that its Compliance and Integrity Officer has opened an investigation into alleged bribery allegations against the match commissioner who was in charge of the game between Real Tamale United FC and Nkoranza Warriors FC.

According to several reports backed by an audio recording, the said match commissioner by the name Ibrahim Fuseini attempted to bribe referees for the matchday to write a false report at the end of the Division One League match that reportedly had a number of violent incidences including an attack on the away team.

However, with the referees deciding to go according to the book, they rather reported the match commissioner to the Ghana FA.
