Accra, July 15, GNA – The Appeals Committee of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) has endorsed sanctions imposed on Ashantigold, Inter Allies by the Disciplinary Committee.

“In the circumstances, we dismiss the appeal filed by AshantiGold SC, Inter Allies FC, Dr. Kwaku Frimpong, Mr Emmanuel Frimpong, and all other players and officers of the two clubs. We endorse all sanctions imposed by the Disciplinary Committee on the clubs, players, and officers,” excerpts of the Appeals Committee ruling said.
