Justice-seeking King Faisal owner Alhaji Grusah to drag GFA to CAS after losing appeal to Tamale City

Following the dismissal of their protest against Tamale City, Alhaji Grusah, the veteran football administrator and bankroller of relegated King Faisal, has confirmed their intention to take the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).

King Faisal had filed a protest against Tamale City, alleging the use of an unqualified player, Isaac Mensah, who they claim has another registration in the system under the name Jireh Kojo Nissi. However, the protest related to their Ghana Premier League (GPL) Matchday 30 clash on May 6 at the Aliu Mahama Sports Stadium was dismissed for the second time by the GFA’s Disciplinary Committee.

Alhaji Grusah expressed his surprise at the ruling and stated his determination to seek justice for what he believes is a case of double identity involving a player.

He referred to a previous case involving Parma, who had appealed against Dreams FC and won at CAS after their protest was initially dismissed by the GFA.

By resorting to CAS, Alhaji Grusah aims to pursue a resolution that he perceives as just in the matter concerning the alleged double identity of the player.

“They have informed us that they have dismissed our protest. This happened to Parma when he appealed against Dreams FC. His case was dismissed by the GFA but he won at CAS,” he stated.

“Double registrations are not allowed, and we are all aware of it. I will prepare with my legal team and take them to CAS for a fair ruling,” he told Peace FM.
