Relegated Accra Great Olympics on Monday served the Ghana Football Association an injunction restraining it from going ahead with the start of the new Ghana Premier League season.

This comes us no surprise to many as the club threatened the FA to place an injunction on the league if their protest against Bechem United and Elmina Sharks for fielding an unqualified player is not resolved.

The disciplinary committee of the GFA has annulled cases brought before them by the Club.

A deduction in points as stipulated by the Constitution will see Great Olympics avoid relegation.

Managing Director of Olympics Oloboi- Commodore has stated emphatically that the GFA has disrespected the club in relation to this issue and they will head to court if the right decisions are not made.

According to Oloboi Commodore, Accra Great Olympics has filled two protest cases and are confident they will win those cases which will guarantee their stay in the league.

“On the 25th January, we informed the GFA that Bechem United featured an unqualified player last season.

We want GFA to ascertain the veracity of truth in that matter and after then we can decide to play in the Division One League. But if it turns out to be true they must apply the rules in accordance with their statute,” Commodore told Asempa FM.

“Since 25th October 2017, we have told the GFA of our impending court action and we have given them enough time.

“So the threat must be followed so that the court must compel them to apply their own rules.”

This could halt the 2017/18 Ghana Premier League which is set to commence this month.
