AshantiGold have begun preparations and optimistic they will compete in the upcoming 2022/2023 Ghana Premier League.
The Miners were demoted to Division Two after their involvement in a match-fixing scandal with Inter Allies on Week 34 in the 2020/2021 football season.
The Obuasi-based side were also fined 100,000 Ghana cedis, while their President Dr Kwaku Frimpong, Chief Executive Officer Emmanuel Frimpong, coach Thomas Duah, and some of it’s players received bans.
Speaking on Akoma FM, coach Duah said, “No one has communicated to us (AshGold) that we are going to play in Division Two. We have appealed the decision and yet to hear from the FA,”.
“We (AshGold) have not been taken out of the GPL so we are preparing and ready for the upcoming season but God forbid we go into Division Two, surely that will not happen. Should that happen, then it means all clubs will be playing in that zone (Division Two)”, he added.
AshantiGold have already filed an appeal against the verdict from the Ghana Football Association (GFA).
The four-time GPL champions finished 7th in the 2021-2022 season with 46 points after 34 games.
