As an assistant coach at Nania FC, you'll coach alongside former Ghanaian football player, Walker Annor and you'll also work alongside European Champions League winner, 3 times African Player of the Year, winner of the African Cup of Nations and former Ghanaian Captain, Abedi Pele. Abedi Pele is considered to be the best ever Ghanaian football player and one of the best African players of all times. Abedi has 67 Ghanaian caps, so to work alongside such a legend in football is a unique opportunity. As a Travellers Football coach, you will be able to coach, train and hopefully play for Nania FC - but only if you're good enough and get selected.

Maha Ayew, wife of Abedi Pele, who is a director and a shareholder of Nania FC sued the Ghana Football Association as well as its President, Kwesi Nyantakyi, the chairmen of the Disciplinary and Appeals Committee of the FA – Amadu Tanko and Justice Anim Yeboah respectively, asking the court to restrain the FA from rehearing the alleged match of convenience case between her club and Okwawu United.

But the sitting judge in dismissing the suit explained that an application for judicial review cannot apply to the FA, stating that such applications are applicable to public bodies and not private bodies like FA.

Maha Ayew also by her status a director and shareholder of the club according to the judges decision could not have sued the FA because she did not have a real or substantial interest in Nania FC.

The ruling stated that the three persons - Kwesi Nyantakyi, Amadu Tanko and Justice Anim Yeboah acted in their official capacity and that they couldn’t have been sued in their private capacities.

A cost of 800 GH cedis each was awarded against Maha Ayew for the three correspondents while a 1, 000 GH cedi cost was slapped on Nania FC.

By the latest ruling, the Disciplinary Committee of the Ghana Football Association would re-hear the case involving the demotion of Nania FC and Okwawhu United.

The Appeals committee of the FA had set aside the ruling of the Disciplinary Committee banning the clubs for their roles in playing a match of convenience and directed the disciplinary body to re hear the matter.

The four affected Clubs Nania FC, Mighty Jets, Okwawhu United and Mariners have also been fined 50 million cedis each and have all been demoted to the Third Division.Information gathered by dellsports from the Committee's sittings on Wednesday indicated that all the players and handlers of the affected Clubs have also been banned for a year.

It would be recalled that Brong Ahafo United, Advanced Stars, Akwatia Diamond Stars and Great Corinthians and others in the 70's were given various sanctions for involving in similar allegations of match fixing.
