GFA Elections Committee RENDERS Wilfred Osei Palmer's APPEAL 'Unsuccessful'

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has rendered Wilfred Osei Palmer’s appeal over his disqualification from the election by the Normalizations Committee as ‘unsuccessful’.

The Elections Committee of the GFA disqualified the candidate on two grounds – breach of Article 33(5) (C) of the GFA regulations which relates to player transfers as well as getting on the wrong side of Ghana Football Association Ethical Committee ruling in 2017.

In a statement signed by Naa Odoley Nortey, a member of the GFA Normalization Committee on Wednesday, October 9 2019, the Elections Committee has turned down the appeal of Wilfred Osei Palmer.

“We regret to inform you that based on the above listed documents received, before the deadline, your appeal was unsuccessful”.
