Accra, Oct. 9, GNA —
Mr Amarkai Amarteifio, Board Chairman of Accra Great Olympic, has called on the
Normalisation Committee (NC) of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to address
injustices in the country’s football before leaving office.

He said the best legacy
that the NC could hand over to the next administration would be to correct the
injustices in the game which they inherited from the previous administration.

Mr. Amarteifio made
the call at the unveiling of the blue and white colour jerseys of the club for
the 2020 football season, in Accra.

He singled out
Olympics and King Faisal as the clubs that have been treated unfairly by the
GFA and called on the NC to investigate the circumstances that led the two
clubs to suffer relegation.

Both Olympics and
King Faisal are now playing in the Division One League, the lower tier league
after their relegation.

Mr Amarteifio said
the two clubs were wrongly relegated during their stint in the Ghana Premier
League and that even though they were in court, the issue remained unresolved.

He said ‘we suffered
injustice during our time in the Premier League. After going to court the case
was not resolved and that we want the NC to address ,that issue so our
team  can have justice before they pass
the mantle”.

Mr Amarteifio cited
the match between Olympics and Elmina Sharks which was used in the No. 12
Documentary on the corruption expose by Anas Aremeyaw Anas to justify the
injustice his team suffered in the Premier League resulting in their
relegation.

He suggested that for
his team to have a fair verdict, the Premier League clubs should be increased
from 16 to 18 so there will be a clean-up to broaden the scope of the League.
