Nations FC’s head coach Kassim Mingle has expressed his desire for a change in the designated referee for their upcoming clash against Asante Kotoko.
The Ghana Football Association had previously assigned Latif Adaari as the referee for Nations FC’s home game against Asante Kotoko on matchday 6 of the 2023–2024 Ghana Premier League.
With the match set to occur at the Dr. Kwame Kyei Sports Complex in Kumasi on Sunday, October 15, 2023, Coach Kassim Mingle, speaking with Rainbow Sports, conveyed his preference for a different match official due to concerns about Latif Adaari’s officiating in their previous game against Legon Cities.
Mingle stated, “I would appreciate it if Latif Adaari is replaced as the referee for our game against Asante Kotoko due to the way he handled our match against Legon Cities. I was dissatisfied with it.”
He added, “I wasn’t the only one who raised concerns about his refereeing during that match because almost everyone, particularly the journalists who were present, shared similar concerns.”
For the upcoming fixture at the Dr. Kwame Kyei Sports Complex, Latif Adaari will be joined by assistant referees Emmanuel Dolangbanu and Gabriel Boateng, with Foster Bastiours serving as the fourth official.
