CAS dismisses Wilfred Palmer’s case against GFA

The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has dismissed Tema Youth Owner, Wilfred Osei Kwaku Palmer’s appeal against the Ghana Football Association (GFA).

Palmer went to the Swiss court challenging his disqualification from contesting the GFA presidential elections in October 2019, which Kurt Okraku won.

Palmer wanted the GFA elections annulled and his candidacy reinstated for fresh elections to be held.

However, in a letter addressed to both parties, and signed by the President of the Panel, Michele Bernasconi, CAS backed the decision of the GFA to disqualify Palmer from contesting the election.
