The suit comes as no surprise as the Ghana Football Association announced that it has instructed its lawyers to institute legal action against persons who defame the Association, its officials, products, and the Black Stars brand, as well as media platforms used to do the same.
According to the Association in a press release, the legal forum will provide the opportunity for such persons to present any evidence to substantiate their allegations.
The GFA noted that its action stems from some individuals deliberately maligning and defaming the GFA and the Black Stars brand in an attempt to manufacture a non-existent scandal about the team.
This erupted following the exit of the senior national team, the Black Stars, from the ongoing FIFA World Cup, Qatar in 2022.
