The government has now stopped the dissolution of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) after an Accra High Court ordered the Registrar-General's Department to return all assets of the GFA in its possession.

This latest move came about when Deputy Attorney-General, Godfred Dame, filed an application on Tuesday, August 28, to withdraw an earlier petition from the government to liquidate the GFA.

The court has also revoked its earlier order appointing the Registrar General, Jemimah Oware, as the Official Liquidator of GFA.

The government arrived at this decision after a delegation held a meeting with FIFA in Zurich after the World football governing body had threatened to suspend the GFA if the case against the entity is not withdrawn.

Speaking to journalists after court proceedings, Mr. Dame reiterated that the agreement with FIFA to set up a normalization committee to take over the running of football in the country for the interim triggered their decision to stop the liquidation.
