Ghanaian Fifa referee, Charles Bulu, is now in a stable condition after collapsing on Tuesday evening.
The Ghanaian arbiter took charge of the Africa Cup of Nations Group K qualifying encounter between Cote d’Ivoire and Ethiopia at the Stade Olympique Alassane Ouattara.
Mr Bulu, 34, who has been an international referee since 2019, fell to the playing turf after showing signs of unease.
He was subsequently stretchered off and was taken to a local hospital in Abidjan.

Initially appointed as the fourth official, Mr Bulu ended up overseeing the qualifier after his compatriot, who had been scheduled to officiate the match, reportedly tested positive for Covid-19.
Even with Patrice Beaumelle’s men leading the Walias 3-1, fourth official Koussi Biro was not eligible to conclude the game as he is Ivorian.
