Mark Addo confident GFA will be vindicated in AshantiGold’s lawsuit today

Published on: 14 October 2022

Ghana Football Association (GFA), Vice President Mark Addo believes his outfit will be vindicated in its ongoing court case with Ashanti Gold.

The 2022/23 Premier League was put on hold following a Motion on Notice for Injunction filed at the Human Rights High Court by Ashgold and served on the GFA’s lawyers.

The Miners were demoted to the Division Two League after being found Guilty of Match Manipulation in their 2020/21 Ghana Premier League Matchday 34 game against Inter Allies FC and are seeking redress against the FA.

The injunction will be heard today at the Accra High Court’s Human Rights Division.

"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," Mark Addo said as quoted by Citi Sports.

"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."
