The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has imposed a ban on Nsoatreman’s home stadium in the wake of the violent scenes that erupted in their clash with Asante Kotoko on Sunday.


The deplorable incident resulted in the death of a Porcupine Warriors fan, while many other spectators sustained injuries and saw the destruction of property at Nana Koramansah Park.


The Kumasi giants issued a statement to highlight multiple security breaches as goalkeeper Mohammed Camara was assaulted, objects were thrown at the team’s bench and their Head of Media suffered injuries.


The GFA “strongly condemned” the acts of violence and hooliganism and has engaged the Ghana Police Service to launch an in-depth investigation to bring the perpetrators to justice.


“The Executive Committee of the GFA has, with immediate effect, invoked Article 14(2) of the Premier League Regulations, by banning the use of the Nsoatreman FC home venue until further notice. This action ensures the safety of all stakeholders while investigations proceed,” a statement from the GFA read.


“Furthermore, the GFA has tasked the Security Committee led by DCOP Lydia Donkor and the FA Prosecutors, to immediately move to site and gather all necessary evidence, including match reports and relevant documentation, to present to the FA’s Disciplinary Committee for adjudication of all sporting matters.


“The GFA reminds all clubs, players, officials, and supporters that there is zero tolerance for acts of violence, intimidation, and hooliganism in Ghana football. The FA will not hesitate to impose severe sanctions on any club, official, or supporter found culpable of engaging in or inciting such behaviour.”
