King Faisal’s Stay of Execution Application Against GFA 3rd Term Trashed
The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has thrown out the application for a stay of execution against the Third Term decision of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) Congress.
The statement of Appeal was filed on September 1 with respect to various decision adopted by the GFA Annual General (GFA Congress) meeting on 12th August 2025.
King Faisal FC requested a stay of execution of the Appealed Decision, but it was trashed today, October 1, 2025.
In a decision delivered by Mrs Corinne Schmidhauser, the President of the CAS Appeals Arbitration Division, said the appellant failed to establish that any of the three cumulative conditions required under Article R37(5) of the Code is fulfilled.
That is, (a) a risk of irreparable harm should the request for a stay of execution be dismissed; (b) the likelihood of success on the merits of its appeal; and (c) that its interests in obtaining the requested stay of execution outweigh those of the Respondent.
“CONSIDERING that in light of the above and without prejudice to the jurisdiction of the CAS to entertain this appeal, the request for a stay of execution filed on 1 September 2025 must be dismissed.”
