Ghanaian match official, Joseph Odartei Lamptey, has on Monday, March, 2017, been banned for life by FIFA, the world football’s governing body for match fixing.
Lamptey was found guilty of breaching FIFA’s disciplinary code in a World Cup qualifying game between South Africa and Senegal on November 12, last year.
FIFA said in a statement: “The official was found guilty of unlawfully influencing match results.”
FIFA announced that it would be dismissing allegations against another Ghanaian match official David Lionheart Nii Lartey Laryea, who had also been under investigation.
“Further information concerning the South Africa v. Senegal match in question will be provided once the decision becomes final and binding.
“FIFA will continue with its ongoing efforts to combat match manipulation through a variety of initiatives, which include the monitoring of international betting and a confidential reporting system with a dedicated integrity hotline and e-mail address.”
