The Ghana Football Association (GFA) Executive Council has ordered an immediate interim suspension on Bofoakwa Tano FC from utilising the Sunyani Coronation Park as their home stadium.
This decision was made in response to the regrettable occurrences that transpired during the Matchday 11 match between Bofoakwa Tano FC and Nsoatreman FC on November 19, 2023, during which Nsoatreman coach Maxwell Konadu was attacked and hospitalised.
This decision is in accordance with Premier League Regulations Article 14(2), which permits the GFA to order the closure of any league centre when the safety of teams, match officials, or fans cannot be guaranteed.
The Competitions Department will establish the location for Bofoakwa Tano FC’s following home matches, and the Disciplinary Committee will address the issue awaiting further inquiry.
The GFA firmly condemns the inappropriate behaviour of the fans of Bofoakwa Tano FC, and the GFA’s prosecutors will analyse video evidence and match reports to initiate necessary charges.
The GFA asks that Bofoakwa Tano FC immediately help in the arrest of individuals engaged in the attack on the away team and the kidnapping of match officials.
All clubs have been reminded to fully follow the GFA Disciplinary Code and the Safety & Security Regulations. The GFA cautions that any harassment or attack would be harshly and immediately dealt with.
