In what will come across as a really shocking development, a football match in Ghana recently took a sad twist.

It took a sad twist when a female referee was reportedly assaulted by a female footballer.

Referee Faizatu Jakpa was attacked and beaten up by a player of the Fabulous Ladies in the Ghana women’s league match between Fabulous Ladies and Kumasi Sports Academy.

The incident left Jakpa with a swollen face and scratches on her face. It is however unclear if the football club or player involved have been sanctioned.
