GFA ruling on Phar Rangers is bad and wrong – George Afriyie
2 min readFormer Ghana Football Association (GFA) vice president, George Akwasi Afriyie has expressed his disappointment over the GFA’s Disciplinary Committee decision to ban division one league side Phar Rangers for 5 years.
Phar Rangers announced their decision to pull out of the Division One League early last month as well as withdrawing from all GFA Competitions with immediate effect.
In the said letter, dated June 7, 2021, the Club stated that it should be considered defunct.
They later wrote back to the FA to rescind their decision but the FA’s Disciplinary Committee decided to activate the appropriate provisions in the GFA Rules & Regulations relating to withdrawals.
But George Afriyie, who contested for the GFA presidency in 2019 alongside Kurt Okraku and Nana Yaw Amponsah feels the decision is bad and wrong and is of the view Kurt Okraku wouldn’t have been the President of the FA if they had banned the directors and stakeholders of Dreams FC when they were banned.
“The GFA ruling on Phar Rangers is WRONG and BAD. Okraku Kurt wouldn’t have been an FA President if the GFA had banned the Board of Directors and the Shareholders of Dreams FC when they were banned,” He told Pure FM.
“I have told Phar Rangers to appeal the Disciplinary Committee decision and I strongly believe that the decision would be overturned. How can you ban a shareholder without a charge?”
The hierarchy of Phar Rangers has three days to appeal against the decision after receiving the ruling.
