The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has dismissed George Afriyie’s appeal against his disqualification from contesting last year’s GFA Presidential election.
This comes after the Ghana Football Association disqualified George Afriyie in the race to contest for the GFA president in 2023. George Afriyie appealed the decision at the Court of Arbitration.
The Court of Arbitration for Sport ruled that “the appeal filed on 29 September 2023 by George Kwasi Afriyie against the decision rendered on 15 September 2023 by the GFA Appeals Committee is dismissed.”
“The Appealed Decision rendered on 15 September 2023 by the GFA Appeals Committee is confirmed. The costs of the arbitration, to be determined and served separately to the Parties by the CAS Court Office, shall be borne by George Kwasi Afriyie,” portion of the ruling read.
Also, the court ordered George Afriyie to pay part of the legal cost of the Ghana Football Association. “George Kwasi Afriyie is ordered to pay the Ghana Football Association a total amount of CHF 1,000 (one thousand Swiss francs) as a contribution towards its legal fees and other expenses incurred in connection with this arbitration.
“All other or further motions or prayers for relief are dismissed”.
