Ghana club, Liberty Professionals will play Division One football for the first time in 22-years following their relegation from the top flight.
The Scientific Soccer Lads needed a win on the final fixture of the 2020/21 Ghana Premier League against another struggling side, King Faisal to retain their Premier League status.
The game at the Sogakope Park ended goalless with Liberty finishing in 17th on 40 points.
The Dansoman based club adopted the Sogakope Park after their venue, the Carl Reindorf Park was deemed unfit to host games due to club licensing issues.
Bernard Arthur once played for Liberty Professionals and he cannot hide the pain of seeing his former club play in Ghana lower tier football next season.
“It’s hurts deep [to see Liberty relegated].
“But you realize football sometimes brings pains.” Bernard Arthur told Africa-foot.com.
Liberty Professionals joined Ebusua Dwarfs and Inter Allies as the relegated clubs from the 2020/21 season.
The club was formed in 1996 but earned their top flight promotion in the 2008 season.
The Dansoman based club made their first premier league appearance in 1999.
Liberty Professionals have made massive contribution to Ghana football with players like Michael Essien, Sulley Muntari, Kwadwo Asamoah, Asamoah Gyan, John Paintsil, Daniel Agyei, just to mention a few produced by the club.
I’m so sad for liberty as they have gone on relegation
