The Federation of International Football Association, FIFA has threatened to suspend Ghana if the government do not withdraw the liquidation process of the Ghana Football Association(GFA) from Court before 27th August 2018.

The letter was sent by FIFA to the liaison team on Monday, 13th August 2018.

The declaring of GFA premises as a crime scene as well as the placement of an injunction on the league clearly manifests the government's intention of dissolving the association.

It was Anas Aremeyaw Anas investigative piece, which uncovered the rot that has engulfed the association, which has masterminded all these controversies.
