A section of supporters of Ashanti Gold Sporting Club have gathered in front of the Ghanaman Soccer Centre of Excellence at Prampram to appeal to the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to reinstate the club and make it eligible to compete in GFA sanctioned competitions.
They made the appeal at the venue that is hosting the 30th Ordinary GFA Congress; this year’s congress commenced on Monday, August 26 that was highlighted by the sod cutting ceremony for the construction of a gym, swimming pool and futsal arena.
The supporters appeal comes in the wake of the club’s administrative manager Kwabena Danso’s stating that the club has been engaging the GFA over a return to competition and were eyeing a return in the 2024-2025 season that commences in September with the commencement of the Ghana Premier League.
Ashanti Gold got suspended over the club’s association with officials of the club, Dr. Kwaku Frimpong and his son Emmanuel Frimpong over their alleged involvement in a serious match fixing scandal that rocked the Ghana Premier League in the 2020-2021 season.
Should the GFA reverse the suspension of the club, Ashanti Gold will compete in the second division which was the club’s punishment for dealing with the banned officials aforementioned prior to the suspension.
