The owner of Ashanti Gold SC Dr Kwaku Frimpong and his son, the Chief Executive Officer of the club Emmanuel Frimpong have been charged with misconduct by the Ghana Football Association (GFA). The two came under investigation after the infamous Ashanti Gold and Inter Allies’ matchday 34 game on July 17 this year.
During the game, an Inter Allies player scored two own goals and told the media he heard before the game that the game has been fixed. So he scored the two own goals to spoil the bet some players and club officials have staked.
Below is the state from the GFA
The President of Ashanti Gold SC Kwaku Frimpong and the Chief Executive Officer of the Club Emmanuel Frimpong have both been charged on three counts of misconduct for match manipulation in their 2020/21 Ghana Premier League Week 34 match against Inter Allies at the Obuasi Len Clay Stadium on July 17, 2021.
The President and Chief Executive Officer of the Club were both charged for breaching Article 27(1) and 27(2) of the GFA Code of Ethics, Article 18(1) of the GFA Disciplinary Code and Article 34(5)(a) and 34(5)(b) of the GFA Premier League Regulations.
The two Club Officials are expected to submit their Statements of Defence to the charges on or before Wednesday, September 22 after which the GFA Disciplinary Committee will adjudicate their cases respectively.
The GFA Prosecutor is expected to release more charge sheets for some officials and players.
