The South Africa Football Association are requesting for the reasons behind the dismissal of their protest against Ghana. 

SAFA reported the Ghana Football Association and Senegalese referee Ndiaye Maguette over unfair officiating and poor treatment after their defeat to the Black Stars in the World Cup qualifiers.

FIFA, after a review of the game threw away SAFA's protest claiming their demands did not meet the requirements foreseen under art. 46 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code and art. 14 of the Regulations of the Preliminary Competition.

“The protest lodged by South Africa has been declared inadmissible by the Disciplinary Committee as it did not meet the requirements foreseen under art. 46 of the FIFA Disciplinary Code and art. 14 of the Regulations of the Preliminary Competition of the FIFA World Cup 2022," FIFA said in a statement to Ghanasoccernet.com on Friday.

"The decision is subject to appeal,” FIFA added.

Meanwhile, South Africa say they want reasons for FIFA's response.

“We have received the decision without details and we will request FIFA for the reasons and consider our options," wrote on SAFA's official website.
