Breaking: FIFA suspend Ghana FA boss Kwesi Nyantakyi following Anas exposé

Published on: 08 June 2018

President of the Ghana Football Association Kwesi Nyantakyi has been banned from all football related activities for 90 days by an independent Ethics Committee of FIFA with immediate effect.

This follows the public screening of investigative journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas' documentary titled Number 12 - which was premiered on Wednesday at the Accra International Conference Centre.

The much anticipated documentary exposed the corruption in Ghana sports, especially the GFA where top officials and referees were caught taking money - including some collecting as little as GH¢200 ($42) - to influence match results in the domestic league as well as push players into national teams.

The duration of the ban by the Ethics Committee of world football governing body may be extended for an additional period not exceeding 45 days.

During this time Nyantakyi is banned from all football activities at both national and international level.
