JUST IN: League leaders Nations FC boycott Basake Holy Stars clash, threatens to withdraw from GPL o

Nations FC, the leaders of the Ghana Premier League, have withdrawn from the competition. This decision follows a controversial 1-0 loss to Basake Holy Stars on Matchday 33.

The club claims unfair officiating affected the game's outcome. They described this situation as unprecedented in league history. Eyewitnesses reported several contentious decisions by match officials. These included a disallowed goal and ignored penalty appeals.

Frustration grew among Nations FC players, staff, and supporters during the match. Tempers flared both on the pitch and in the stands. Club President Dr. Kwame Kyei expressed his loss of faith in the league's fairness. He reportedly stated he would not allow his club to continue amid perceived injustices.

No formal statement has been issued by Nations FC or the Ghana Football Association (GFA). However, reports indicate that management is starting to withdraw from the 2024/25 season. Emergency discussions are ongoing within the GFA to address this situation.

This development overshadows an exciting end to the season. Nations FC currently leads with 60 points from 32 matches. Their rise has been a defining story of this season due to their strong setup and investment in youth.

If confirmed, their withdrawal could significantly impact league credibility and stability. It may also affect title races, relegation battles, and continental qualification spots in Ghanaian football history.
