Ghana Football Association jabs King Faisal's lawyer; insists Congress scheduled for Tuesday
The Ghana Football Association says it will go
ahead to hold its Congress next Tuesday despite
claims by King Faisal that the body would be
charged for contempt of court if they do so.

King Faisal, whose injunction application was
quashed on Monday by the Human Right Division of
the High Court, claimed the FA needed to be
granted permission by the court before they could
congregate.

Lawyer Egbert Faibille Jnr told an Accra-based
radio station that the Ghana FA would be a court
order if they went ahead.

But opposite number has called his bluff and said
Congress will come off as planned.

“With all due respect to my colleague, I
disagree with his position and the Ghana Football
Association has advised itself in terms of the
latest ruling from the Human Rights Division of
the High Court and we will proceed as we have
decided to do,” Thaddeus Sory told Accra-based
Joy FM.

“If we are in contempt, he knows what to do. He
doesn’t file a contempt application on radio. He
should go to court and file it. The GFA will come
and defend it.

“If he knew he had an order for injunction
endorsed on his writ, why did he go for an
interlocutory order for injunction?

“So I’m telling you that there is no ground or
whatsoever for any contempt application in court.
He should go to court and stop it on radio.”

The Ghana Football Association’s Congress will
be held at the Ghanaman Soccer Centre and that
will usher in the 2014/2015 season.

The Ghana Premier League is set to start on 07
January.
