Ghana FA set to face Ashanti Gold in court today to determine fate of Premier League

Published on: 14 October 2022

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) is set to appear in court today for the case filed by Ashanti Gold SC to be heard.

The 2022/23 Premier League was put on hold 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 has subsequently communicated this 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.

Ahead of the court hearing today, the Vice President of the football governing body, Mark Addo 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."
