IN THE MATTER OF A MISCONDUCT CHARGE AGAINST ASHANTIGOLD SC &
OTHERS IN RESPECT OF THEIR GHANA PREMIER LEAGUE MATCH
AGAINST INTER ALLIES FC AT THE LENCLAY STADIUM.
On 17th July 2021, Ashantigold SC played Inter Allies FC in the 2020/21 Ghana
Premier League Matchday 34 game at the Obuasi Len Clay Stadium.
The match eventually ended in 7 goals to 0 against Inter Allies FC.
After the match, there were several reports within the local and international football space that the match was fixed to fulfill a correct score of 5 goals to 1 in favor of Ashantigold SC.
A video extract of the match circulated on various social media platforms showing a player of Inter Allies FC scoring two own goals and also showed a lackluster attitude of players on the field of play.
Sportradar, a Swiss-based international company‟s fraud detection system, a unique service that identifies betting-related manipulation in sports globally for a number of leagues through its vast amounts of data, reported that there were strong pre-match betting and telltale signs of fraud on the said match.
The GFA Compliance & Integrity Office together with the GFA Prosecutors
investigated the matter and in accordance with Article 34(5) of the GFA Premier
League Regulations preferred charges against the two clubs and referred
Ashantigold SC to the Disciplinary Committee.
The Committee concluded its work and released its report on Monday, May 16th, 2022.
