The Ghana Football Association says it will go ahead to hold its Congress next Tuesday despite claims by King Faisal that the body would be charged for contempt of court if they do so.Ã
King Faisal, whose injunction application was quashed on Monday by the Human Right Division of the High Court, claimed the FA needed to be granted permission by the court before they could congregate.
Lawyer Egbert Faibille Jnr told an Accra-based radio station that the Ghana FA would be a court order if they went ahead.
But opposite number has called his bluff and said Congress will come off as planned.
ââ¬ÅWith all due respect to my colleague, I disagree with his position and the Ghana Football Association has advised itself in terms of the latest ruling from the Human Rights Division of the High Court and we will proceed as we have decided to do,â⬠Thaddeus Sory told Accra-based Joy FM.
ââ¬ÅIf we are in contempt, he knows what to do. He doesnââ¬â¢t file a contempt application on radio. He should go to court and file it. The GFA will come and defend it.
ââ¬ÅIf he knew he had an order for injunction endorsed on his writ, why did he go for an interlocutory order for injunction?
ââ¬ÅSo Iââ¬â¢m telling you that there is no ground or whatsoever for any contempt application in court. He should go to court and stop it on radio.ââ¬
The Ghana Football Associationââ¬â¢s Congress will be held at the Ghanaman Soccer Centre and that will usher in the 2014/2015 season.
The Ghana Premier League is set to start on 07 January.
