Demoted Ghana Premier League side Dreams FC have written officially to express reservations about the processes leading to a decision to demote the club.
The club was demoted after the Appeals Committee of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) reviewed an earlier decision brought before it by Tema Youth FC.
Tema Youth FC had instanced the review after dragging an earlier case against Dreams FC to the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS).
In a press statement released on Monday, December 12, Dreams FC said even the reasons for the November 30 decision by the Committee, which it says was not properly constituted, are yet to be made known to them.
The Dawu-based club said though it has options to appeal against the decision at CAS or drag the matter outside GFA’s judicial structures, it will accept the Committee’s decision despite “the loss of financial resources by Dreams FC and the huge disappointment”.
The case between the two clubs involved player Cudjoe Mensah, who is said to have been illegally registered by Dreams FC to play a Division One Zone 3 game at Kweiman in 2015.
According to Dreams FC, the case brought against it was a protest one, for it to forfeit its 2-0 win.
The Appeals Committee’s November 30 decision as signed by Chairman Cosmas Anpengnuo slapped a five-year ban on Dreams FC’s Ibrahim Dossey Adams as well.
The club categorically stated that it disagrees with that particular decision given the fact that “[Mr Adams] was only invited to assist the Committee to do its work and was not part of this Protest Case nor charged and was not given hearing”.
