AshantiGold vs Ghana FA: Court delays verdict on match-fixing case

The Accra Human Rights Court has again postponed its decision in the match-fixing case involving Ashantigold and the Ghana Football Association (GFA).

The decision, which was scheduled to be delivered on Tuesday, July 18th, has now been rescheduled for Monday, August 21st, 2023.

The case revolves around Ashantigold’s appeal against their relegation to Division Two following their conviction for match manipulation by the GFA’s Disciplinary Committee.

Both Ashantigold and Inter Allies were found guilty of fixing their league match, which resulted in a 7-0 victory for Ashantigold on July 17, 2021.

After exhausting all avenues within the GFA, Ashantigold have turned to the Human Rights Court in the hope of overturning their demotion and securing a fair hearing from Ghana’s football governing body.

Meanwhile, the former Ghanaian champions have been suspended from all activities at the recent GFA Ordinary Congress after dealing with their Chairman Dr Kwaku Frimpong, who is serving a long-term ban due to match-fixing.

In October 2022, the court dismissed Ashantigold’s interlocutory injunction on the Ghana Premier League.
