Prosper Harrison Addo, General Secretary of the Ghana Football Association, has opened up on Ashantigold’s state in Ghana football at large after the club was suspended during the last GFA Ordinary Congress.
The former Ghana Premier League winners were officially suspended from the Ghana Football Association following a congress decision weeks ago.

The motion was moved by Dreams FC’s administrative manager, Ameenu Shardow, for the Obuasi-based club to be suspended during the 29th congress session of the Ghana FA at KNUST Great Hall.
After a headcount, 67 voted in favor of suspension, while 17 voted against the motion.
Explaining the state of the club, the Ghana FA scribe asserted Ashantigold have not been expelled from Ghana football as purported to be.
“The decision maintains the status code, and there has not been anything significant added to Ashantigold. Per our laws, if you want to preserve it, the next congress has to take it there. Congress will maintain it because the ultimate power for suspension or expulsion of a member lies with congress.”

We have not expelled Ashantigold. People think they have been expelled and are out of everything. The thing is, there were already suspensions, and I heard people say that it was contempt of court. Please, Ashantigold has not been suspended because of returning to court. No.”
