Wilson Arthur is the Chairman of the FA Cup Committee
The Chairman of the FA Cup Committee, Wilson Arthur, has disclosed that some Ghanaian clubs resort to using black magic, locally known as ‘juju’, to spiritually influence referees and win games.
The President of Skyy FC narrated an experience where he was told his team had been put under a spell to lose the game and would be thwarted if he left his seat.
Astonishingly, when he left his seat, his team, who were struggling to score, netted a goal a few minutes later, which seemed strange to him.
“For instance, I was asked to leave my seat while watching a match involving my team because I was told they had been put under a spell.
“The moment I left my seat, we scored a goal. Personally, I don’t believe in these things, but there are weird things in football,” he recounted during an interview with Asempa FM.
Arthur noted that his experience has influenced him to believe that some clubs put referees under a spell to win matches.
“The league has many matches, and there is a lot at stake. People must understand that it’s a competition. Ways and means are part of the process to win a match. Referees are always put under a spell. The referees, players, and coaches are worked on spiritually,” he added.
He made these remarks while sharing his thoughts on the shocking results in the 2024/2025 FA Cup, where Ghana Premier League giants Accra Hearts of Oak, Medeama, and Gold Stars were eliminated from the competition.
