Nania FC will face a US$ 1,500 fine and a three-year ban for pulling out of the 2012 Caf Confederation Cup.
Article 13 of the CAF regulation stipulates that clubs who withdraw from the competition will taste such penalties
�Withdrawals declared before the start of the competition and until the 1/8th final round inclusive, shall entail a fine of 1500 dollars in addition to losing the engagement fees.
�Apart from the financial sanctions, every club withdrawing from the competition after the establishment of the fixtures will be forbidden from participating in all CAF inter-clubs competitions for three years following its withdrawal.�
Nania FC, owned by legend Abedi Pele, withdrew citing the lack of funds.
The Legon-based side won the Ghana FA Cup last season after beating Kotoko in the final.
