Ashantigold demoted to Division Two over match-fixing
According to the Ghana Football Association, the decision will take effect from the 2022/2023 Ghana Premier League season.
Officials and Ashantigold players who were part of the matchday squad have also been sanctioned by the Disciplinary Committee of the GFA.
