In an exclusive interview with Asempa FM’s Sportsnight, Ashgold SC President Dr Kwaku Frimpong sheds light on the decision to take legal action against the Ghana Football Association (GFA) over the delayed verdict on the alleged fixed match between Ashgold SC and Inter Allies. Dr Frimpong expressed his frustration with the GFA’s failure to provide the necessary verdict documents, which has now led the club to seek justice through the court system.
The controversy surrounding the alleged fixed match has created a cloud of uncertainty over Ashgold SC and their reputation within the Ghanaian football community. Seeking clarity and transparency, Dr Frimpong and the club urgently requested the GFA’s verdict on the matter. However, the GFA’s refusal to provide the required documents has left Ashgold SC with no alternative but to take the case to court.
During the interview, Dr Frimpong emphasized the importance of the GFA’s verdict in order for the club to make an appeal to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) and present their case for justice. Ashgold SC firmly believes in their innocence and maintains that fair and unbiased investigations are crucial to protect the integrity of the sport.
The decision to take legal action highlights the seriousness with which the club is pursuing this matter. Dr Frimpong and Ashgold SC are determined to exhaust all available options in their quest for justice. They firmly believe that only through a comprehensive investigation and an impartial hearing at FIFA CAS can their name be cleared and their reputation restored.
The delay in releasing the verdict not only affects Ashgold SC but also raises concerns about the transparency and efficiency of the disciplinary process within the GFA. It is imperative for the GFA to address these concerns promptly, as the reputation of Ashgold SC and the overall trust in Ghanaian football are at stake.
As Ashgold SC proceeds with their legal action, football fans and stakeholders await the GFA’s response and the outcome of the case. The resolution of this controversy will be a significant milestone in determining the commitment of Ghanaian football authorities towards upholding fairness, accountability, and integrity within the sport.
Ashgold SC remains resolute in their pursuit of justice and will continue to fight for their rights until a satisfactory resolution is reached. The club appreciates the support of their fans and the entire football community during this challenging period and remains hopeful for a favorable outcome.
