The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has decided to postpone the next round of league matches (Matchday 20) following the violent incidents and fatality that occurred at the match played between Nsoatreman FC and Kumasi Asante Kotoko over the weekend.
This move is aimed at creating space for the GFA to engage with relevant stakeholders and discuss the ramifications of the violence.
The postponement will allow the GFA to assess the situation, consult with stakeholders, and develop strategies to prevent such incidents in the future.
The GFA has been working to improve the overall football experience in Ghana and is keen to ensure that this incident is dealt with swiftly and decisively to send the signal that such acts have no place in Ghana Football.
A die-hard supporter of the Porcupine Warriors, Frimpong Yaw Francis aka Pooley, passed away after he was stabbed multiple times during Nsoatreman FC’s 1-0 win against Asante Kotoko at the Nana Koromansa Park on Sunday.
