Ghana Football Association President Kwesi Nyantakyi has instructed his lawyers to take legal action against certain print media houses for defamation.
Reports say the state-owned newspaper, Graphic Sports and the Chronicle may be the target of the FA President.
A Chronicle publication indicted the FA boss and some Executive Committee members of money swindling after last month's joint qualifier against Benin in Kumasi.
Nyantakyi described those publications in the aftermath of the controversy that engulfed the FA and the Sports Ministry has maligned particular executives of the GFA.
"I have been accused of embezzling funds meant for the Ghana Football Association and it is imperative the newspapers that carried those stories go to court to prove it because my reputation has been dented," Nyantakyi told Ghanasoccernet.com
"It is painful and my reputation and that of others are on the line and I will not sit down for my hard won status be washed down the drain like that.
"There has not been any rejoinder or denial since the matter came up and therefore a lot of people have presume it to be true," he added
"And so the law court will be the appropriate platform for those print houses to prove their case or face the full rigors of the law."
