Court throws out GFA motion; adjourns King Faisal case to December 12
The Ghana Football Association has been dealt a legal blow in their long-running case with King Faisal Football Club. Earlier on Monday, an Accra High Court threw out the GFA’s motion to have the case moved because they had problems with the jurisdiction. The court has now asked the football association to prepare to make their case in substantive case on Friday, December 12. King Faisal owner Alhaji Karim Gruzah has long ruled out out-of-court settlement which is further delaying the start of the Ghana Premier League.
