The Ghana Football Association (GFA) will be back in Court later this week for the hearing of the case filed against it by Ashanti Gold SC.
The football governing body in the country has been dragged to court after its Disciplinary Committee ruled to demote Ashanti Gold SC from the Ghana Premier League to the Division Two League.
Ashanti Gold SC claims innocence of allegations of playing a fixed match with Inter Allies FC and wants the decision to demote the club to the lower-tier league to be overturned.
When the Ghana FA faced off with Ashgold in Court last Friday, the case was adjourned to October 20 with an order for the club to file a supplementary affidavit today, Monday, October 17.
For Ghana FA Vice President Mark Addo, the Ghana FA believes it has a good case and will come out victorious at the end of the hearing.
“If they (AshantiGold) feel they went to the Appeals process and were still found guilty on the basis of that, the next level was for them to have gone to CAS. Even the players that were banned went to CAS and were given a reprieve.”
“If they choose not to go through the process, and go to court, which is fine. Every dog will have his day in court. The FA will strongly present their case and I am very hopeful that we will be vindicated.” Mark Addo told Citi Sports in an interview.
