Bank-roller of Division one side Tema Youth, Wilfred Osei Palmer who is also a member of the Ghana FA EXCO says government’s petition to dissolve the nation’s fotball governing body was legally flawed and premature. 

The Ghana Football Association Executive Committee have sent a counter petition to the Federation of International Football Association (FIFA) over recent brouhaha in Ghana Football.

"The petition filed by the Gov't of Ghana to dissolve the Ghana FA was Legally flawed and premature because Mr Nyantakyi had resigned and ceased to be a director of the FA, even before the ex parte injunction" Palmer explains

"The reason for writing a petition to FIFA was to present the case of Ghana Football, so we the Exco Members needed to meet and deliberate to present we the football people our version of the story to FIFA" he concluded

The Government of Ghana stated after the premiere of the Anas Armeyaw Anas expose that it has taken steps to dissolve the Association, halting all football activities in the country including the Zylofon Cash Premier League.

However, after several meetings between the Sports Ministry and FIFA together with some members of the Football Association, it has been suggested that a normalization committee be set up to allow football activities to return.
