Ghanaian referees have for the second successive season failed to make the cut for the African Nations Championship (CHAN).The Ghanaian \u2018Knights of the Whistle\u2019 are conspicuously missing from the 32-member list for the second edition of the CHAN, which is ongoing in Sudan after missing out on the maiden edition held in 2009 in Abidjan, Cote d\u2019Ivoire.
\nDuring the first edition, Tamale-based assistant referee Haruna Ayuba restored some pride for the Ghanaian officials, but only lasted up to the quarter final stage. Information gathered by GNA Sports at Wad Madany, Sudan has it that but for Joseph Lamptey\u2019s suspension following the Esperance-Ahly CAF Champions League semi-final clash last year, he would have been included to handle the Championship.
\nThe Immigration Officer is said to have been dropped out of the lists of \u2018Elite Referees\u2019, hence his absence from the competition designed exclusively for local-based footballers.
\nThe signals are the best for Ghanaian referees to improve on their performances after been left out for African U-17 Championship held in Rwanda barely a month ago.
\nThe selected match officials are from Algeria, Angola, Benin, Burundi, Cameroon, Cote d\u2019Ivoire, Eritrea, Gambia, Gabon, Libya, Mali, Malawi, Mauritius, Morocco, Kenya, Nigeria, Tunisia and Zambia.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
