Court ends 13-years amputee football dispute as high court rulesin favour of NSA and NPC Ghana

In a ruling expected to reshape the future administration of the sport, the High Court found in favour of the National Sports Authority (NSA) and the National Paralympic Committee (NPC) Ghana, affirming their authority over the governance and recognition of amputee football under Ghana’s national sports framework.

One of the longest-running and most fiercely contested legal battles in Ghanaian sports has finally come to an end after the High Court delivered a landmark judgment that decisively settles the governance of amputee football in Ghana.

The litigation centred on critical questions concerning which institution possessed the legal mandate to administer amputee football in Ghana, the legal recognition of competing organisations, the legitimacy of governance structures and elections, and the authority of Ghana’s national sports institutions under the country’s sports governance framework.
