The Accra Human Rights Court has dismissed AshantiGold’s case against the Ghana Football Association over the 2022/23 betPawa Premier League.
The top-flight league is set to resume after the four-week forced break due to the injuction suit by the Miners.
In her ruling, Judge Barbara Tetteh Charway stated that the Ghana Football Association (GFA) will suffer more than AshantiGold.
AshantiGold will also pay GHS20,000 in damages by the court.
The Obuasi-based side suffered demotion to the third tier of Ghana football after being found guilty of match manipulation in the 2020/21 Ghana Premier League campaign.
According to a ruling by the Ghana FA Disciplinary Committee, AshantiGold manipulated the results of their matchday 34 match against Inter Allies FC.
President of the club, Kwaku Frimpong and CEO Emmanuel Frimpong were handed long-term bans for their involvement in the said match manipulation, as well as some players.
Ashantigold appealed the Disciplinary Committee’s decision to ban but the ruling was upheld by the Appeals Committee, forcing the Miners to take the case to the Human Rights High Court.
The latest decision means the Ghana Premier League could resume this weekend
