The world football governing body issued a statement on Thursday which revealed SAFA’s protest failed to meet certain requirements and was therefore rejected.

Now that the result has officially been determined, the Black Stars have secured their spot in the World Cup playoff round along with the other nine group winners.

‘SAFA are incompetent’

Prosper Harrison Addo did not hold back when criticising SAFA after the verdict.

“The South African football Association knows nothing in football and this case clearly shows how incompetent they are,” the General Secretary told Light FM, as per Modern Ghana.

“They want to frustrate Ghana and we are focus about the AFCON and the FIFA World Cup playoff.”
