President of New Edubiase United, Abdul Salam Yakubu has called on the Ghana Football Association to consider organizing an integrity seminar for the club chairmen ahead of the 2019/20 season.

This latest development comes after the governing body subjected the referees to a four-day capacity building exercise as part of preparations for the upcoming football season.

The experienced administrator argued that the Club CEOs are the root cause of poor officiating because they lobby referees and match officials in fixing matches.

“The club chairman is also part of the bigger part of the process to ensure football get better. So we also need the integrity seminar as well”, he told Happy FM

“That is why I never agreed with the Anas principle because Club Chairman should have also been captured in the video. Mostly it is the club chairmen that lobby the referees for the bribes. We are the biggest problem. The referee should be more professionals this time around. They must allow integrity to work.

“If you want to play a fix match it’s more than GH 10,000 so there is no need to take GH 25,000 as sponsorship money and then play a fix match”, he concluded.
