ACCRA, Aug. 5 (Xinhua) -- The Court of Arbitration for Sports (CAS) has once again rescheduled the ruling on a landmark case involving the Ghana Football Association (GFA) and a top Ghanaian football administrator.

A statement issued by the global sports adjudicating body Wednesday said the ruling will be delivered on Sept 1.

This becomes the second time CAS has postponed the ruling between the Ghana FA and bankroller for Tema Youth Football Club, Wildred Osei Kwaku Palmer as the global body was supposed to have originally delivered the judgment on July 17 but postponed it to August 4.

The then Normalisation Committee (NC) of the GFA led by Kofi Amoah, prior to the association's presidential election in October 2019 disqualified Osei Palmer from the race.

The NC, which was constituted by FIFA and the Ghana government after the football exposes on corruption explained the Tema Youth financier was disqualified from the GFA presidential election for failing to pay a ten percent player fee to the association.

Osei Palmer subsequently dragged the defunct Normalization Committee to CAS for what he described as an "unfair and calculated disqualification" of his candidature from the presidential race.
