Julian Nunoo has been named the Best Referee for the 2022/23 Ghana Premier League season and has received a brand new car as his prize. The FIFA-badge holder, who is the son of retired referee Thomas Nunoo, drove home in a Hyundai Elantra.
Nunoo, 32, officiated in 14 matches, which was tied with three other referees. He showed 54 yellow cards, three double yellow cards, and awarded two penalties during the season, which included matches between Karela vs Kotoku Royals and Great Olympics vs Hearts of Oak.
In addition to his domestic duties, Nunoo also officiated one international match during the season. This was the CAF Champions League first qualifying round tie between ASN Nigelec and SOAR Academie.
More recently, he handled the 2023/24 CAF Confederation Cup preliminary round first leg tie between ASC Kara of Togo and Ivorian outfit Académie Football Amadou Diallo.
Nunoo’s award as the Best Referee is a great honor for him and his career. It shows his dedication and ability to perform at the highest level in the sport of football. Congratulations to Julian Nunoo on his achievement and his new car prize.
