Ghanaian referee Charles Bulu has collapsed whiles officiating
the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifier match between Ivory Coast and
Ethiopia.
The
FIFA referee was stretched off the field and rushed to the hospital after 80
minutes of field play.
Referee Charles Bulu collapsed after struggling to stand on his feet for unknown reasons.
The Ivorians were
leading by 3-1 in the match-day six of the 2021 Africa Cup of Nations
qualifiers at the Stade Felix Houphouet-Boigny before the match ended abruptly
following the Ghanaian referee who had collapsed in the last ten minutes of the
game.
The fourth official who was expected to replace Charles Bulu is
an Ivorian and prevented a conflict of interest. As a result, the match
had to be called off with ten minutes left to be played.
