Three teams battle it out for AshantiGold’s Ghana Premier League spot

The Ghana Football Association has decided to hold a play-off between the three second-placed clubs in the Division One Leagues, with the ultimate winner replacing the demoted AshantiGold SC in the upcoming 2022/23 Ghana Premier League.

This follows the Appeals Committee’s decision to uphold the Disciplinary Committee’s decision to demote AshantiGold to Division Two League over match-fixing.

The Miners had earlier filed an appeal to overturn the verdict but the case was thrown out.

Tamale City FC, Ebusua Dwarfs FC, and Liberty Professionals FC finished second in their Division One League Zones, respectively.

According to the FA, the three teams will compete in an all-play-all league format, with the winner replacing AshantiGold SC in the Premier League.

The fixtures will be as follows:

Team A vrs Team B Team B vrs Team C Team C vrs Team A

A draw will be held for the teams to pick A, B or C to ensure fair parings.
