BREAKING: Ghana Premier League still suspended after court adjourned case to October 20

Published on: 14 October 2022

The 2022/23 Ghana Premier League remains suspended after the Accra Human Rights Court adjourned the case of Ashanti Gold SC vs Ghana Football Association (GFA) to Thursday, October 20, 2022.

The league was put on hold last Wednesday following a Motion on Notice for Injunction filed at the Human Rights High Court by Ashgold and served on the GFA’s lawyers.

The GFA subsequently communicated the decision to all sponsors, partner and  clubs.

Ashanti Gold SC were demoted to the Division Two League after being found Guilty of Match Manipulation in their 2020/21 Ghana Premier League Matchday 34 game against Inter Allies FC.

The Premier League was scheduled to enter match week four last weekend.

Prior to the court hearing on Friday, Mark Addo, GFA Vice President told Citi Sports, "If they [Ashantigold] feel they went to the Appeals process and were still found guilty on the basis of that, the next level was for them to have gone to CAS.'

"Even the players that were banned went to CAS and were given a reprieve.

"If they choose not to go through the process, and go to court, which is fine.  Every dog will have his day in court. The FA will strongly present their case and I am very hopeful that we will be vindicated."
