FIFA threatens to ban Ghana
country's Football Association or face expulsion from international
football, ESPN reports.
In a letter addressed to the two-man liaison team currently
responsible for the administration of football in the country, FIFA
said it views ongoing liquidation process by the government as an
interference in the administration of football.
"To date, the scope of the investigation into the allegations of
widespread match-fixing and corruption within the GFA remains unclear.
"However, the Bureau considers that the petition introduced by the
Attorney General to the High Court of Justice to start the liquidation
process of the GFA constitutes an undue influence in the affairs of
the GFA in contravention of art. 14 par. 1 of the FIFA Statutes," the
letter read.
FIFA added that if the petition was not withdrawn by 10:00 GMT on
August 27, the GFA will be suspended with immediate effect.
