"Medeama SC, because of its geographical position, is located in the lowest part of southern Ghana and should be grouped by proximity in Group B meetings published yesterday.We send you this letter to ask you to reconsider the Medeama SC and place it in its place – a legitimate position if fairness and professionalism are important elements in this competition, as stated in Article 11 (8) of the GFA Special Competition Regulation.
