Renowned Ghanaian female referee Theresa Bremansu has confirmed that her FIFA badge was stripped of after taking a break because of childbirth.
According to her, no reason was given to her after the decision was taken.
“I’m no more a FIFA Referee because I went to give birth and was stripped of my badge without any explanation,” she told Takoradi based Connect FM.
“It is in our laws that if you are a female referee and you fall sick or get pregnant, the badge will be there and be given to you back after passing your fitness test,” she added.
“Nobody has called me to tell me anything about it and I have tried calling severally to ask but to no avail. I think it was a planned thing,” she said.
Bremansu added that she has been forced into retirement.
She refereed for 20 years, taking charge of many local games and making appearances at international tournaments
