The Disciplinary Committee (DC) of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) headed by lawyer Prosper Harisson Addo has dismissed the protest filed by Cape Coast Metro Youth Football Club (FC) against Great Astronomers in their MTN FA Cup game.
Cape Coast Metro Youth Football Club (the Petitioner) on March 15, 2016 filed a protest against Great Astronomers Football Club (the Respondent) for using six (6) unqualified players who they claim did not have their players’ licenses for inspection at the match in contravention of Articles, 16(1), 16(5)(b), 26(4) and 34(1)(e) of the General Regulations of the GFA.
The Committee stated the basis for throwing out the case as; Metro Youth failing to file the protest within two (2) days after the said match as stipulated by Article 30(b) of the FA Cup Regulationsth and that the protest of Cape Coast Metro Youth FC was filed out of time.
It ruled that the match result of 2-0 in favour of Great Astronomers FC shall stand and that there shall be no order as to cost.
The DC further ruled that should any party be dissatisfied with or aggrieved by this Decision, the party has within two (2) days of being notified of this Ruling to appeal to the Appeals Committee of the Ghana Football Association.
