Embattled Obuasi-based AshantiGold SC, has vowed to exhaust all available legal avenues to ensure that it secures justice following their demotion to the Division Two League.

The club was found guilty of match manipulation alongside Inter Allies by the Disciplinary Committee of the Ghana Football Association. It follows allegations the football authority got wind of, which resulted in investigations and their subsequent demotion to the third tier football with some hefty fines.

Responding to the decision in a press release cited by Angelonline.com.gh on its official Twitter page, said, they are ready to fight to the end through appeal since the DC’s decision is against the weight of evidence and whatever transpired during the hearing.

“Ashantigold SC notes with shock and disappointment the decision of the GFA Disciplinary Committee dated 16th May 2022 (“the Decision”) in relation to the misconduct charges levelled against the club, its officials, and players in respect of its 2020/2021 Ghana Premier League matchday 34 game against Inter Allies FC”

Ashantigold has reviewed the Decision and being dissatisfied with it, has filed a Notice of Appeal against the Decision to the GFA Appeals Committee”

“The club will exhaust all the legal avenues available to secure justice,” parts of the statement stated.

According to the statement, it has requested the record of proceedings of Appeal of the Disciplinary Committee hearing and will upon receipt of same, file additional grounds of appeal.

The former league champions used the medium and asked the playing body, technical team, cherished supporters, and other stakeholders of the club to remain calm and resolute during these moments.
