Ghana Premier League leaders Medeama suffer big setback as Great Olympics win protest

Medeama have been dealt a heavy blow in their Ghana Premier League title chase as they have been docked six points for fielding an unqualified player in a clash with Great Olympics.

Oly, who filed a protest against Nana Kofi Babil, have been declared winners of the fixture which originally ended 1-0 in favour of the Yellow and Mauves and awarded three points and three goals.

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) announced the ruling by its Disciplinary Committee on its official website on Monday.
