In a legal battle between the Ghana Football Association (GFA) and AshantiGold SC, the GFA has emerged as the victor, as determined by the Human Rights Court in Accra.
AshantiGold, a former Ghanaian champion, had challenged their relegation to Division Two following their involvement in match manipulation, as ruled by the Disciplinary Committee.
Seeking to reverse their demotion and ensure a fair hearing from the GFA, the club from Obuasi had turned to the court system, marking a prolonged and determined pursuit of justice.
However, in a ruling issued on October 11, 2023, the Human Rights Court in Accra upheld the GFA’s decision, thereby affirming that AshantiGold will remain suspended from all football-related activities.
This verdict marks the end of a protracted chapter in Ghanaian football, impacting the club’s standing and its involvement in the sport.
