Injunction on Ghana Premier League will be held today

Published on: 25 October 2022

The resumption of the 2022/23 Ghana Premier League will be decided today at the Accra High Court.

The GFA put the Premier League on hold on September 29, 2022 after a Motion on Notice for Injunction filed at the Human Rights High Court by Ashanti Gold SC and served on the GFA’s lawyers

Ashgold 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 said match saw Ashgold thrashed Inter Allies 7-0 involving two own goals, with viral post-match footage on social media showing what were described as “cheap and deliberate own goals”.

Later, Inter Allies defender Hashmin Musah, who came into the game as a second-half substitute and bagged two own goals, confessed to deliberately putting the ball behind his own goalkeeper with intentions of foiling what he suspected was a standing, fixed 5-0 scoreline.

Inter Allies suffered relegation after finishing 18th on the league table with 26 points, while Ashanti Gold finished 9th.
