LFA suspends FC Fassell

The Executive Committee of the Liberia Football Association has suspended first division club FC Fassell from its ongoing 2011/2012league, thus automatically being demoted to the 3rd division.

The highest decision marking body of the local football house took the decision on Saturday March 31, 2012 in the boardroom of the LFA at a full seating of the body following FC Fassell’s decline to pay a fine imposed on it by the LFA last year.

In February last year, after a match with Fulani in Margibi County in January, FC Fassell was brought down guilty for beating and bodily injuring a referee and was fined US$1,500. The team’s owner and President Cassell Kouh accepted the verdict, paid US$500 of the amount and signed a promissory note to pay the balance before his next game as per the rules of the game.

Ten months on, Kouh and his club have declined to pay the balance prompting the EC to use the next option after expulsion-suspension.

The EC also suspended Kuoh himself pending the outcome of a match fixing allegation brought against him by Small Town, another 1st division club.
