Ghana Premier League side Young Apostles have distanced themselves from comments made by official Samuel Anim Addo over officiating in the domestic league.
Anim Addo took to social media to back Accra Lions for their concerns regarding officiating in their Matchday 16 game against Dreams FC.
He had stated that he received threats “many times” by the current Ghana Football Association (GFA) administration that his club will be relegated for his comments.
The Association on Thursday charged Mr Anim Addo for his comments.

“We strongly disassociate ourselves from these comments and any sentiments expressed therein,” it said.
“As a club, we maintain a respectful and professional relationship with the GFA and all its affiliates.
“We are committed to upholding the values of sponsorship, integrity, and mutual respect within the football community.”
