The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has rejected King Faisal FC's request for a Stay of Execution of the decision made by the GFA Appeals Committee.

In the ruling issued on September 27, 2023, CAS dismissed King Faisal FC's attempt to postpone their relegation from the betPawa Premier League to the Division One League Zone 2, as well as the commencement of both leagues, until CAS makes its final decision in the main case against the Ghana Football Association (GFA).

After their relegation and the unsuccessful appeal against Tamale City FC, King Faisal FC turned to CAS to overturn the GFA Appeals Committee's decision.

Subsequently, King Faisal FC sought a stay of execution to continue participating in the Ghana Premier League for the 2023-24 season until CAS reached a final decision on the main case.

However, after considering the arguments put forth by both King Faisal FC and the GFA, CAS denied King Faisal's request for a stay, pending the final resolution of the main case.

The costs associated with this decision will be determined in the final award or any subsequent arbitration-related disposition.

Consequently, King Faisal FC will compete in the 2023-24 Division One League Zone Two, which is set to begin on Friday, October 6, 2023.
