The Access Bank Division One League week 26 game between Sefwi All Stars and Basake Holy Stars Football Club was thrown into disarray as the second half failed to come off as scheduled.
Despite the home team, Sefwi All Stars, showing up as planned, the same cannot be said for their opponents, Basake Holy Stars FC, who were notably absent from the pitch. Adding to the confusion, the match officials also failed to make an appearance for the second half of the game.
The match had initially commenced with the first half seeing Sefwi All Stars leading by a goal against Basake Holy Stars FC. However, the anticipated continuation of the game on the following day was marred by the absence of both the away team and the match officials.
It was revealed that the referees cited security concerns as the reason for their failure to show up for the second half, prompting the rescheduling of the match to the following day. Despite the rescheduling, neither the referees nor Basake Holy Stars FC appeared on the pitch, leaving Sefwi All Stars and fans in a state of confusion and disappointment.
The incident raises questions about the organization and management of the league, as well as concerns regarding the security arrangements for football matches. The lack of clarity surrounding the situation further underscores the need for improved communication and coordination between all parties involved in ensuring the smooth running of football matches.
As Sefwi All Stars await further directives from league authorities, the incident serves as a reminder of the challenges and unpredictability that can accompany the sport, highlighting the importance of adaptability and resilience in the face of unexpected circumstances.
