Ghana FA dissolved after bribery claims

The Ghanaian government has dissolved the country’s football association after claims of bribe-taking by referees and top FA officials.

Information minister Mustapha Abdul-Hamid said the government was shocked at the claims of a BBC documentary that indicted GFA President Kwesi Nyantyaki.

Nyantyaki was caught on camera allegedly requesting $11 million from undercover reporters posing as businessmen.

“The documentary exposed widespread fraud in the FA,” said Abdul-Hamid

The officials have been referred to the police for further investigation while plans are on to get a new body to run the sport.
