AFCON 2015: Referee Seechurn Rajindrapasard Suspended with the host Equatorial Guinea and Tunisia

The Confederation of African Football (CAF), have meted out a heavy suspension on referee Seechurn Rajindrapasard, who was in charge of the quarter-final match between AFCON host Equatorial Guinea and Tunisia, at the ongoing competition and the teams involved respectively.

According to the statement released on CAF’s website read on Tuesday: ''At its extraordinary meeting held at the CAF headquarters In Bata, Equatorial Guinea on the 2nd February, 2015, the CAF Referees Committee reviewed the performance of the referee Seechurn Rajindrapasard (Mauritius) during Match No. 26, Tunisia vs. Equatorial Guinea played on 31 January 2015 in Bata in the final tournament of the 2015 Orange Africa Cup of Nations.

“The Referees Committee noted with regret the poor performance of the referee during the match, including an unacceptable failure to maintain calm and ensure proper control of the players during the match.

''Hence the Referees Committee decided:
– To end the mission of Seechurn Rajindrapasard as a referee for the Orange AFCON 2015
– To suspend him for a period of six (6) months for poor performance
– To delist him from the CAF “A” Elite Referees panel.''
