Karela United FC have made an emotional plea to the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to ensure fairness and transparency for the remainder of the 2024–25 season, as the club battles to retain its place in the Ghana Premier League.
With just three games left in the campaign, the club is calling for fair officiating and live broadcasts of their remaining matches to promote transparency and uphold the integrity of the competition.
The appeal follows a board meeting held on Monday, after Karela secured a crucial 1-0 victory over Bibiani Goldstars FC on Sunday — a result that has reignited their survival hopes.
An official statement from the club is expected to be released to the public in the coming days.
Currently sitting three points above the relegation zone, Karela faces a challenging run-in with fixtures against Medeama SC, Young Apostles FC, and Vision FC.
“Our players have shown remarkable spirit and determination,” a board member told GHANAsoccernet.com.
“All we ask for now is fairness. Let our final games be decided on merit. We appeal to the GFA to ensure quality and impartial refereeing for our matches moving forward.”
The club also emphasized the need for live television coverage of their games.
“We believe live TV coverage will promote fairness and accountability. Everyone should have the opportunity to witness what happens on the pitch. This isn’t just about Karela United — it’s about protecting the reputation of our league.”
As the season nears its climax, Karela’s appeal underscores the intense pressure and scrutiny faced by clubs fighting to avoid relegation.
