GFA boss Nyaho Tamakloe has more problems

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has been forced by a court order to postpone the start of the 2004 league season indefinitely.

The GFA said in a statement on Friday that it was postponing the league, which was due to kick of on 2 May, due to an order from the High Court of Ghana.

The order is the result of a case brought a by a fan of relegated club Prestea Mine Stars, who wants another case he filed against the deduction of six points from the club the last season determined before the start of the new premier league season.

If the court rules that the six points should be restored the Mine Stars would retain their place in the premier league.

No date has been fixed for that case but newly elected GFA vice chairman Kwesi Nyantekyi told BBC Sport that they will ask the court to set aside the motion so the league can get underway as soon as possible.

The Ghanaian domestic calendar has already been stalled by several legal disputes, so much so that world football's governing Fifa has already warned the GFA to streamline its laws to prevent disputes from going to the ordinary courts or face sanctions.

The GFA has also had to alter the structure of the league to enable it to meet the deadline for the submission of representatives for next year's African Club competitions as a result of the time it spent in court.
