The well-being of all will be paramount; Franklin Wilson’s led slate committed to this
Kaieteur Sports – Following the unfortunate accident in the wee hours of Monday morning that involved four of the country’s Refereeing officials, the Franklin Wilson-led slate that will be contesting the GFF elections set for Saturday, December 9, 2023, has said that the well-being and safety of these officials is a high priority.
The officials are Referee Assessor Ingram Johnson, Referees Gladwin Johnson, Kleon Lindey, and Referee Safyia Goulding.
The quartet were on their way home after performing official duties in an ongoing tournament at the Police Sports Club Ground, Eve Leary.
All the officials are now at home resting and recuperating and have all expressed their gratitude to Almighty God for allowing them an opportunity to continue their careers as officials, helping to transform the landscape of the game.
