FIFA to Ghana: Withdraw case against GFA or face ban!

Football’s world governing body, FIFA, has given the government of Ghana an August 27 ultimatum to withdraw its application to the High Court to commence liquidation process of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) or risk Ghana being banned from all football-related activities.

In a letter dated July 13 to Dr Kofi Amoah, head of the Liaison team for the GFA, FIFA’s General secretary, Fatma Samoura, stated that the world body considered the government’s legal process to liquidate the FA as “undue influence in the affairs of the GFA” and violates FIFA Statutes.

The FIFA General Secretary expressed concern about the lack of clarity into the government’s investigations and steps it says are being taken to restore integrity into the administration of Ghana football.
