Tensions are escalating in the football community of Tarkwa-Nsuem District as the rep of Bassayin FC, Nanabayin Cobbinah, and all Division Two clubs in the region have issued a stark threat to physically confront Western Regional Football Association (WRFA) secretary, Sir Andy.
The heated dispute arises from the WRFA’s decision to suspend the Zone Two Group 4 league indefinitely, prompting a vehement reaction from the local football stakeholders.
SSTVGH.COM reports that the clubs, aggrieved by the abrupt suspension of their league without apparent reasons, have resolved to stage a demonstration tomorrow morning.
The protest is anticipated to take place as WRFA secretary Sir Andy attends the pre-technical meeting for the outstanding Ghana Premier League (GPL) clash between Medeama SC and Bofoakwa Tano F.C.
The stakes have been raised as the clubs not only plan to voice their discontent through a demonstration but also threaten to physically confront Sir Andy over the indefinite suspension.
Their primary demand is the retrieval of their affiliation fees since they have decided not to participate in the Division Two league for the current season.
Local security agencies in Tarkwa have been alerted to the situation, preparing for potential unrest during the planned demonstration.
The specter of a clash between football officials and security forces hangs in the air as the community braces for the unfolding events.
The looming confrontation has cast a shadow over the Akoon Community Park, where football enthusiasts were expecting to witness the Medeama vs. Bofoakwa Tano GPL encounter.
The threat of physical violence and the subsequent press conference planned by the aggrieved parties indicate the gravity of their grievances.
This incident underscores the broader challenges faced by local football associations and clubs, emphasizing the need for transparent communication and effective dispute resolution mechanisms within the football administration.
As the football community in Tarkwa-Nsuem holds its breath, the outcome of tomorrow’s events could shape the future dynamics between local clubs and regional football associations.
