Former Ghana Football Association President Kwesi Nyantakyi has decided to use his option of appeal to fight the FIFA ruling.
FIFA on Tuesday 30th October, 2018 imposed a lifetime ban and a fine of GHS 2.4 million on Kwesi Nyantakyi for involving himself in a scandalous behavior in the Anas Aremeyaw Anas number 12 expose’ which uncovered the rot in the Ghanaian football.
However, Kwesi Nyantakyi who sees the ruling from the world football governing body as shocking, unfair and unwarranted has decided to fight the ruling at the Courts of Arbitration for Sports (CAS).

Below is the press release from the camp of the former CAF 1st Vice President Kwesi Nyantakyi.
“I wish to express my shock and deep sadness after receiving the decision from the FIFA Ethics Adjudicatory Committee on Tuesday.
My legal advisors are under my instructions to urgently appeal the decision as I think it was unfair, harsh and unwarranted.
I will use all the legal channels available to seek redress and establish the facts I presented to the committee.
Even though I have already resigned from all my football positions, it is important I establish the facts with the sole aim of clearing my name.
At this moment I am unable to provide any further details as my lawyers are reviewing the facts for appeal at the Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS).
I wish to express my sincere gratitude to the people of Ghana, Africa and indeed across the globe for the overwhelming support and outpouring of sympathy”.
Thank you.
Mr. Kwesi Nyantakyi
