Tamale South Member of Parliament, Haruna Iddrisu, has said it is not his wish to move Karela United away from Anyinase where the originated from.
He took over the club after the December break last year.
The former National Democratic Party (NDC) minority leader regretted he had to move the club away from their base to a new home ground for the 2023/24 Ghana football season.
He said he is negotiating with the club’s management on the way forward after the Ghana Football Association’s (GFA) club licensing committee rejected the Crosby Awuah Memorial Park as their home venue for the new season.
He was speaking to local media in Tamale after welcoming the club to start their preseason in his home region.
“I have come to welcome Karela Football Club into Tamale for their preseason session and to discuss and consult with the management and technical team, where our venue for the 2023/24premier league may be," he said.
“It is not my wish to have taken the team away from Anyinase from the people of Nzema, but regrettably the GFA have disqualified the Anyinase football pitch, as not being desirable or meeting their minimum standard.
“So, we have to look elsewhere and we will look elsewhere and satisfy the licensing requirement.”
