Ghana faces FIFA’s wrath if government FAILS to terminate legal proceedings to dissolve GFA

Local media reports claim FIFA has forwarded the letter to the Sports Ministry and that is rattling cages.

If the authorities fail to comply with this latest directive, Ghana would be handed a worldwide ban, meaning no club or national team can compete in international competitions.

Football in the country came to a halt in June after an Accra High Court granted an application by the Attorney General to enable government dissolve the local football governing body.
