GPL: Ghana Football Association reinstates Phar Rangers Football Club back to division one

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has reinstated Phar Rangers back to the Division One League

Phar Rangers were relegated to the Eastern Region division two in the 2016/17 season after finishing 12th on the Zone III table while Okyeman Planners were maintained even though they placed 13th on the league

Okyeman Planners got the opportunity because they won a protest against Okwahu United for failing to pay a fine

However, Phar Rangers filed a protest against Okwahu United since they didn’t pay the fine before their clash

Phar Rangers FC were denied the three points plus three goals against Okwahu United which made them send the case to the Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS)

Court of Arbitration for Sports ruled the case in favor of Phar Rangers FC but the Disciplinary Committee of the Ghana Football Association failed to grant Rangers the full points

But after 48 days, the Ghana Football Association has finally reinstated Phar Rangers back to the division one league

Below is the statement from the Ghana Football Association
