 Let’s respect ourselves - Naa Odofoley Nortey to GFA after Phar Rangers 5-year ban..

The Ghana Football Association has slapped Division One League side, Phar Rangers FC, with a 5-year ban from all its competitions. The decision was announced on Wednesday by the Ghana FA via its official website after the Disciplinary Committee ruled on the matter.

The Committee found Phar Rangers guilty of withdrawing from all GFA-sanctioned activities and competitions without just cause in breach of Article 13 of the GFA’s Division One League regulations.

The Committee also banned the shareholders and directors of the club from all activities for a period of five years.

How did we get here?

On June 7, 2021, Phar Rangers wrote a letter, signed by its Admin and Operations Manager, Hamid Saaka, to the GFA saying that it had decided to withdraw from all GFA competitions including the Division One League and the MTN FA Cup on the basis that it had gone defunct.

The GFA acknowledged receipt of the letter and then, proceeded to activate the appropriate measures based on what Phar Rangers had communicated.
