Sporting Mirren protest against Istanbul FC fails
The GFA Disciplinary Committee has ruled that the
result of the Elite Club Cup Competition 1st Leg
2nd Round Match between Istanbul FC and Sporting
Mirren shall stand, after a protest by the latter
was ruled to have failed.

Sporting Mirren protested against the respondent
(Istanbul) for failing to provide player licences
and letters of consent for inspection.

They further added that Istanbul FC failed to
register list of players and technical team before
the match and also fielded players whose names
have not been submitted to the GFA.

The Petitioner therefore demanded to be declared
the winner of the match which was played at the
Akyem Takyiman park on January 14, 2015.

However, the Disciplinary Committee ruled that:

1. That for failing to accompany their protest
with the payment of appropriate protest fee to the
Match Commissioner per the provisions on page 7 of
the Special Rules for the Elite Clubs Cup, the
protest shall fail and the match result shall
stand.

2. That there shall be no order as to cost.

3. That any party which is dissatisfied with this
Decision has within 24 hours of being notified of
this Decision to appeal to the Appeals Committee
(see page 7 of Special Rules).
