The Eastern Regional Police Command has restored calm at Kukurantumi following violent clashes between supporters of Port City FC and True Democracy FC during a Division One League match at the Kukurantumi Ohene Park.
The incident occurred on Saturday, January 4, 2026, shortly after the end of the first half, with home side Port City FC leading by one goal to nil.
According to police investigations, a fight broke out between supporters of the two clubs during the recess, escalating into stone-throwing from both sides.
The clashes resulted in injuries to some supporters and damage to the windscreen of the team bus belonging to True Democracy FC.
