CAS provisionally overturns GFA's three-year ban on Solomon Safo Taylor
The Court of Arbitration for Sport (CAS) has provisionally lifted the three-year ban imposed on Solomon Safo Taylor by the Ghana Football Association (GFA) Disciplinary Committee.
The former Asante Kotoko striker was banned in April 2024 after being found guilty of falsifying registration documents during his time with Asante Kotoko.

Taylor, however, filed an appeal with CAS on November 6, 2024, challenging the GFA's sanctions. Under case number CAS 2024/A/10983, the CAS Appeals Arbitration Division reviewed the case and issued its decision on December 4, 2024.
Signed by Dr. Elisabeth Steiner, Deputy President of the CAS Appeals Arbitration Division, the ruling included the following provisions:
The decision by CAS to provisionally overturn the ban means Sarfo Taylor can return to pursue his professional career.
