Ghanaian football supporters have bemoaned the Ghana Football Association’s choice to suspend the Ghana Premier League after AshantiGold delivered notice of an injunction on the organization.
After being found guilty of match-fixing and demoted to Division 2 league, Ashantigold filed an injunction at the Human Rights High Court to suspend the league.
The GFA stated that the league would be suspended until the court’s decision on a Motion on Notice for Injunction on October 14, 2022.
The FA also pledged to “seek reparation for the prompt restoration of the Premier League” and “guarantee that the schedule is not further disturbed in this world cup year.”
Reacting to the news of the suspension of the league, some fans said that they were not shocked that the league has been put on hold because Ashantigold forewarned the GFA.
Some fans on social media were also worried about how the suspension of the league could affect the fixtures as the World Cup approaches and would force the league into another temporal hold.
A section of fans also expressed their frustrations at how the GPL has always had court issues.

You keep running away from solving issues in the league now see. I wish the clubs can sue the FA for the losses they’re going to incur

The season the Hearts won the league, and we are still suffering for that. There were lots of match fixing allegations that season but the FA swept all other the carpet.
