The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has strongly condemned the acts of violence and lawlessness that erupted during the Ghana Premier League match between Kumasi Asante Kotoko and Nsoatreman FC on February 2, 2025, at Nana Kronamansah Park. The tragic events resulted in the death of a supporter, several injuries, and significant property damage.
In response, the GFA has invoked Article 14(2) of the Premier League Regulations, immediately banning Nsoatreman FC’s home venue until further notice to ensure the safety of all stakeholders while investigations are conducted.
The FA’s Security Committee, led by DCOP Lydia Donkor, along with FA Prosecutors, has been tasked with gathering evidence, including match reports and relevant documentation, for submission to the Disciplinary Committee.
Additionally, the GFA has formally engaged the Ghana Police Service to launch a full-scale investigation and ensure that all perpetrators are identified, arrested, and prosecuted.
“The FA has zero tolerance for violence, intimidation, and hooliganism in football. Severe sanctions will be imposed on any club, official, or supporter found culpable,” the statement warned.
The GFA extended its condolences to the family of the deceased and wished a swift recovery to the injured. Further updates on disciplinary actions and law enforcement investigations will be communicated in due course.
