Ali Mohammed insists that Eleven Wonders deserves to replace Ashanti Gold in the Ghana Premier League
Both Ashanti Gold and Inter Allies have been demoted into the Division Two after been found guilty of match manipulations in 2020/21 season.
After Ashanti Gold and Inter Allies filed an appeal to overturn the decision of the Disciplinary committee, the Appeals committee rejected it.
The Ghana Football Association announced that the second placed teams in each of the Division One zones will vie for the spot in the Ghana Premier league in a mini tournament.
Ebusua Dwarfs have also raised issues with the format to find a replacement.
Ali Mohammed insists they need to replace Ashanti Gold automatically based on the Ghana Premier league regulations.
"We deserve to replace AshantiGold SC in the league," Ali Mohammed told Happy FM.
"Football is governed by rules and regulations. If you look at the Premier League regulations of 2019 which govern the game states that after the season, three teams from the Division One League get demoted and promoted to the league, that is Samatex FC, Kotoku Royals, and Nsoatreman FC.
"In the Premier League, it also states that three teams will also be relegated at the season. The law states that three teams will be relegated so if Ashantigold has been demoted then it makes it three teams. We have precedence in this case."
"So if AshantiGold SC has been demoted they will be on the bottom of the table, meaning Eleven Wonders will get to be on the 15th position. The GFA officials know better," he concluded.
