Moving Karela United away from Anyinase regretful but had to be done – Haruna Iddrisu

Member of Parliament for Tamale South, Haruna Iddrisu, has expressed his pain at the relocation of Karela United from Anyinase, their original location.

He assumed control of the club following the December break last year.

The former minority leader of the National Democratic Party (NDC) conveyed his disappointment at having to shift the club’s home ground to a new venue for the upcoming 2023/24 Ghana football season.

He indicated that he is engaged in discussions with the club’s management to determine the way forward after the club licensing committee of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) rejected the Crosby Awuah Memorial Park as their designated home venue for the upcoming season.

“I have come to welcome Karela Football Club into Tamale for their preseason session and to discuss and consult with the management and technical team, where our venue for the 2023/24premier league may be,” he said.

“It is not my wish to have taken the team away from Anyinase from the people of Nzema, but regrettably the GFA have disqualified the Anyinase football pitch, as not being desirable or meeting their minimum standard.

“So, we have to look elsewhere and we will look elsewhere and satisfy the licensing requirement.”

Speaking to local media in Tamale, he shared his sentiments after welcoming the club to initiate their preseason preparations in his home region.
