AshantiGold SC and Inter Allies are facing match-fixing charges and possible demotion to a lower league if found guilty.
The two teams are currently under massive investigation by the Ghana Football Association and police after a player involved in their Ghana Premier League encounter made serious allegations of match-fixing.
The match ended 7-0 with Inter Allies defender Hasmin Musah, who is the centre of police investigation, scoring two deliberate own goals.
The two clubs if found guilty could be demoted to the fourth division plus a hefty fine – this was the initial punishment handed to Nania FC, Okwahu United, Great Mariners FC and Tudu Mighty Jets after they were found guilty of match-fixing by the Ghana FA in 2007. But upon successful appeal, the four clubs maintained their second-tier status but served a one-season ban.
AshantiGold finished the season 9th hence are still a Ghana Premier League club, meanwhile, Inter Allies have been relegated.
