Following the verdict of the appeal against the Disciplinary Committee's decision, King Faisal has been officially relegated from the betPawa Premier League.
King Faisal finished in 17th place in the previous season, accumulating 42 points, which placed them 3 points behind 15th-placed Accra Lions. Consequently, they were relegated to the Access Bank Division One League.
However, the club had hopes of remaining in the league pending an appeal against the Disciplinary Committee's decision regarding their protest case against Tamale City FC.
King Faisal had protested against Tamale City for fielding an unqualified player during their betPawa Premier League Matchweek 30 at the Aliu Mahama Stadium.
Unfortunately for King Faisal, the Appeals Committee upheld the decision of the Disciplinary Committee, affirming their relegation to the Access Bank Division One League.
The verdict from the Appeals Committee stated: "The Appeals Committee has also dismissed King Faisal FC's appeal against the Disciplinary Committee decision in their protest case against Tamale City FC."
“Affirming the Disciplinary Committee’s decision, the Appeals Committee charged the GFA Prosecutor to investigate the registration of player Jireh Kojo Nissi and prosecute all guilty parties.”
“The Appeals Committee also ruled that the 2021/22 Division One League season registration of Jireh Kojo Nissi should be expunged from the records of the GFA since it was later in time to the registration of Isaac Mensah,” it added.
