“Collapsed” Referee Charles Bulu is in good condition
Ghanaian Centre Referee, Charles Bulu is responding well to treatment in Ivory Coast after he collapsed yesterday, March 30, 2021, during an Africa Cup of Nations Qualifier.
The FIFA referee fell on the pitch in the 80th minute and lost consciousness whiles the Elephants of Ivory Coast were leading Ethiopia 3-1 at the Stade Felix Houphouet-Boigny.

Charles Bulu, who was stretched off the field has regained consciousness and is in high spirits.
It is alleged that he collapsed due to the very hot weather in Abidjan.
As a result, the match had to be called off with ten minutes left to be played, though it has no relevance since both countries have already secured qualification to the tournament in Cameroon.
The Ghana Football Association and Confederations of African Football are yet to comment on the incident.
