The Ghana Football Association Executive Council at its Emergency Meeting held on Wednesday, July 7, 2021, has to ban Brong Ahafo United from playing their home games at the Sunyani Coronation Park in the interim.
Fans of BA United are in the news for the wrong reasons after they attacked referee Maxwell Hanson and his assistants during an ill-tempered league match against Real Tamale United at the weekend. The said game ended abruptly.
A statement from the Ghana FA reads, “That is the exercise of its powers under the Division One League Regulations, the Executive Council has decided that Brong Ahafo United FC is temporary banned from using the Sunyani Coronation Park as its home venue.”
Meanwhile, all 16 clubs in Zone 1 have been ordered to play the rest of their games behind closed doors.
“That all the 16 clubs in Division One League Zone 1 are hereby directed to play their remaining league matches of the season behind closed doors without failure and that any violation shall be severely punished. Only Ten (10) Management Members of the Home Team and Ten (10) Management Members for Away clubs shall be granted access as well as Twenty (20) media persons (to be accredited by the GFA). No other person shall be in attendance apart from the 18 players and the 7 Technical Team members from each club, Match Officials, Medical Personnel for the match, 8 ball boys, and the agreed number of Police and Military officers sanctioned by the GFA. This shall strictly be enforced.”
