On Wednesday night the ruling on one of arguably Ghana football’s longest legal tussle involving a bribery allegation was brought to a conclusion by the Ethics committee of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) headed by vice Chairman, Felix Anyinsan. Techiman City and Wa Africa United were both found guilty of giving and accepting bribe respectively to play a match of convenience.
The Chief Executive Officer of Wa African United, Nana Gyamerah Kwabena Yiakwan II, informed the GFA that the match between the two sides – Wa African United FC and Techiman City FC in the 2014/15 GN Bank Division One League Week 22 match played at the Damongo Park was a pre-arranged game.
Wa African United further alleged that they were given GH¢2,000.00 (Two Thousand Ghana Cedis) by Techiman City FC as well as other payments for agreeing to play a match of convenience.
The President Charles Kwadwo Ntim also known as Micky Charles has vehemently denied the allegations and with the ruling of demotion against his club has threatened to pursue the case to its latter end.
Real Tamale united (RTU) team manager, Mohammed Iddi has reiterated the club’s readiness to replace the demoted Techiman based club after finishing second in Zone 3 of the 2014/15 GN Bank division one season.
Speaking in an interview to Kumasi based Boss fm 93.7, Iddi said, “The Ghana Football Association (GFA) alone can confirm with the laws of the game which team – Real Tamale United or Berekum Arsenal replaces demoted Techiman City. For now we will like to keep mute on it and wait for the Football Association come out officially on who plays in the premier league.”
“Before player and club registration deadline day, the GFA organised a forum for the clubs and asked clubs to register as their current status reads and will make the necessary decision based on the ruling involving the Techiman city and Wa Africa united bribery case. RTU as a club complied and registered as a division one club but we’re equally prepared for premier league football should the FA rule state we do,” he added.
Berekum Arsenal finished third in zone 3 and according to the clubs general secretary, Douglas Effah are the right club to be reinstated due to better head-to-head against RTU.
