CAS lifts GFA ban on 21 players allegedly involved in Ashgold/Inter Allies match-fixing scandal

The Court Of Arbitration of Sports (CAS) has temporarily lifted the GFA ban placed on 21 players involved in the Ashgold vs Inter Allies match-fixing scandal with immediate effect.

The adjudicating body has granted all the 21 players a stay of execution and are free to continue their footballing career in the coming season before the case is heard.

The players can now go through all the registration processes for the 2022/23 football season.

This was after an appeal was filed on the players behalf by FIFPRO through the PFAG.

The players include Frank Akoto, Eric Esso, Amos Kofi Nkrumah, Empem Dacosta, Paul Devries Asare, Amos Addai, Stephen Owusu Banahene etc who were all banned for 24 months.
