The GFA Disciplinary Committee has dismissed Accra Hearts of Oak’s protest against Great Olympics in relation to their Ghana Premier League Matchday 28 game.

The Rainbow club filed a protest against rivals Great Olympics for allegedly fielding an ineligible player Kwame Rhule in the 1-1 apiece Ga Mashie derby.

Hearts stated that their rivals failed to perform its due diligence in registering Joshua Kwame Rhule contravening Article 26(6) of the Ghana Premier League Regulations which states that: “Responsibility for the truthfulness of information on players’ licenses lies on the clubs and not on the GFA”.

However, the Disciplinary Committee in its ruling dismissed the protest and suspended the player for the misconduct.

The GFA’s Disciplinary Committee added that ” in accordance with Article 28(2)(b) of the GFA Premier League Regulations, Accra Great Olympics FC is not the guilty party in this instant case and the results of the Ghana Premier League match between Great Olympics FC and Accra Hearts of Oak SC shall stand”.
