Tunisian referee, Slim Jdidi, has been banned by the Confederation of African Football after his controversial performance in Wednesday’s African Nations Cup semi-final between Burkina Faso and Ghana.
“CAF was not happy with the standard of refereeing in the match,” General Secretary, Hicham El Amrani, told a media briefing on Thursday.
Amrani added: “We know they can make mistakes but we expected a better level of refereeing.
“They are graded on each performance and based on his marks, the referee from Tunisia is now suspended for a period of time still to be determined.”
