The Ghana Football Association has scrapped its scheduled consultative meeting for midday Wednesday and replaced it with the previously frozen 24th Ordinary Congress.
The GFA had invited representatives of Premier, Division One and other stakeholders to seek their concerns on the “current happenings and the future of the Association.”
But the GFA has shelved the plan following an Accra High Court ruling Wednesday morning on an injunction case by Great Olympics which prevented the country’s football governing body from holding its Congress on February 7-8.
An announcement on the GFA’s website reads:
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) will hold its Ordinary Session of Congress on Wednesday 21st February, 2018 at the GFA Secretariat in Accra.
The meeting starts at 14:00 (2:00pm).
Delegates are expected to convene at the venue at the said time to review the activity report for the just-ended football season and to usher in the new season.
This is in accordance with Article 23.3.1 of the GFA Statutes, which states that, “The GFA Congress shall meet in ordinary session once every football season, normally before the commencement of the season.”
The GFA sent notice of Congress to its members earlier of the Association in accordance with Article 23.3.3 of the Statutes before its postponement.
