The Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS) has postponed the much anticipated verdict for the case involving Wilfred Osei Palmer and the Ghana Football Association.

Wilfred Osei Kwaku the aggrieved party took the case to the Sports adjudicatory over what he terms as unfair and unlawful treatment meted out to him by the GFA's Normalization Committee in disqualifying him from contesting the October 2019 GFA Elections.
The apex Sports court was supposed to have announced the verdict on Friday 17th July after a lengthy legal tussle from both parties but have in a letter copied to the arbitrators for both parties scheduled 4th August 2020 as the new date for the announcement of the verdict.
CAS' judgement will have serious ramifications on the future and reign of the current GFA President Kurt E.S Okraku should things not go the way of the GFA.
There is pensive mood within the corridors of power at the GFA as the landmark ruling could plunge the FA on it's head when the verdict is delivered.
