Division One League side, Cape Coast Mysterious Ebusua Dwarfs has withdrawn from the Ghana Football Association’s (GFA) qualification playoffs for three teams to replace demoted Ashgold.
The Executive Council of the GFA resolved that there shall be a play-off between the three second-placed clubs in the Division One Leagues with the ultimate winner replacing demoted Ashanti Gold SC in next season’s Ghana Premier League.
The three 2nd placed clubs, Tamale City FC, Mysterious Ebusua Dwarfs FC and Liberty Professionals will play in a three-way League to determine the replacement for AshantiGold SC in the Premier League.
However, Dwarfs in an initial letter to the football governing body argued that they deserve an automatic qualification to the top-flight league citing three instances where clubs from the same zone were given the nod to replace demoted sides.
In lieu of the three instances in the past, Dwarfs believe that having finished second last season in the Division One League in their zone is enough grounds to earn a promotion to the Ghana Premier League.
Public Relations Officer of Dwarfs in an interview with Accra-based Accra FM disclosed that the club has resolved to go to the Court of Arbitration for Sports to seek redress if the FA fails to promote the pride of Cape Coast to the elite division.
