“A list of 120 referees was given to the GFA at the start of the league season for Premier and 400 for division one league. So to replacing the 77 referees is not a problem at all”
The General Secretary also confirmed that they have been furnished with the copy of the exposee and the and their executives will meet next week and watch before taking an action.
“RAG Executives will meet on Saturday to watch the Number 12 Video after which necessary actions will be taken”
