The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has placed an indefinite ban on Nsoatreman FC’s home venue, Nana Koramansah Park, following violent clashes during their Ghana Premier League match against Asante Kotoko on Sunday.
The tragic incident resulted in the death of a Kotoko supporter, multiple injuries, and property destruction.
The GFA strongly condemned the violence, describing it as “an unacceptable blemish on the integrity of our game.”
The association extended condolences to the bereaved family and wished a speedy recovery to those injured.
Citing Article 14(2) of the Premier League Regulations, the GFA Executive Committee imposed the indefinite ban, emphasizing the need to ensure safety while investigations continue.
The GFA’s Security Committee, led by DCOP Lydia Donkor, along with FA Prosecutors, has been tasked with gathering evidence, including match reports, for submission to the Disciplinary Committee.
The Ghana Police Service has also been engaged to conduct a full-scale investigation into the violence.
“We expect law enforcement agencies to deploy all necessary tools to ensure that those responsible for these heinous acts are identified, arrested, and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law,” the GFA statement emphasized.
GFA’s Zero-Tolerance for Hooliganism
The GFA reiterated its firm stance against hooliganism, warning that severe sanctions will be imposed on any club, official, or supporter found guilty of violent conduct.
The indefinite ban on Nana Koramansah Park marks a decisive step in restoring security and discipline within the Ghana Premier League.
