Alhaji Gruzah Eyeing A Return To The Premiership

Alhaji Abdul Karim Gruzah – owner and bankroller of King Faisal Football Club, is confident of making a return to the Ghana Premier League (GPL), after being relegated in the 2013/14 football season.

In an interview with the GNA Sports, the astute football administrator said “if the grace of God fall on us, we shall come back to the Premier League very soon.

“We are seriously working on that and we hope to stage a comeback in the shortest possible time,” he added.

Alhaji Gruzah however lamented on the judicial system of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), saying “they don’t follow the rules and regulations of the Association, but rather the interest of friends and cronies.

“In the past I was deducted points for non-payment of fines, but others were left to go scot-free due to selfish interest.
“How do you expect Ghana football to progress?” he queried.

He added, “Ghana's football has totally collapse and am surprised the media is quiet over it. The silence of the media is not good for the development of football in Ghana.

King Faisal FC and the GFA have been in a long standing legal battle at the high courts, after the former was relegated in 2013/14 season.
