The Executive Council of the Ghana Football Association has ordered a temporary ban on Bofoakwa
Tano FC from using the Sunyani Coronation Park as its home venue with immediate effect.
This decision has become necessary due to the unfortunate incidents that occurred after the Match
day 11 match between Bofoakwa Tano FC and Nsoatreman FC played on November 19, 2023.
The decision is in accordance with the GFA Premier League Regulations Article 14(2) which states
inter alia “the GFA may order the closure of any league centre where the safety of clubs, Match
Officials or Spectators cannot be guaranteed.”’
The Competitions Department is therefore advised to determine the venue for the Club’s subsequent
home matches in accordance with Article 14(3) Premier League Regulations.
This order is however without prejudice to the determination of the case pending before the
Disciplinary Committee who have been charged to hear the case in accordance with the relevant
Regulations.
The GFA notes the unacceptable conduct of the supporters of the home team, Bofoakwa Tano FC
and condemns same, without any reservations, the violations of the provisions of the GFA the Safety
and Security Regulations and the Premier League Regulations which took place at the match.
The GFA Prosecutors have been tasked to study all the video evidence and the match reports and
prefer appropriate Charges immediately and for the Disciplinary Committee to sit on this matter
expeditiously.
