The Executive Council of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) has issued a ban on Baffour Soccer Academy’s home grounds ( Twumasi Sports Complex ) with immediate effect.

The decision was taken following assaults and throwing of stones aimed at officials and players of Away Team Tamale City FC, and the destruction to their team bus as well as holding of the match officials hostage at the Twumasi Sports Complex at Nsoatre in the Bono Region by the home supporters in the Division One League – Zone 1 match played between Baffour Soccer Academy and Tamale City FC on Sunday, May 8, 2022, which ended 1-1.

Hence, the GFA’s Executive Council has accordingly exercised its powers under Article 14(2) of the Division One
League Regulations and has banned the venue for the use of Baffour Soccer Academy indefinitely.

The GFA Prosecutors have been tasked to study all the evidence and the match reports and prefer appropriate Charges immediately and for the Disciplinary Committee to sit on this matter expeditiously.

The GFA demands that Baffour Soccer Academy shall immediately assist the Regional Police to cause the arrest of the persons involved in this attack on the away team, the bus and the holding of the match officials hostage, without fail, in accordance with the promise given by the clubs to the Inspector General of Police in our engagement with the leadership of the Ghana Police Service.

The Association has instructed the Competitions Department to fix the venues for the upcoming home
matches of Baffour Soccer Academy FC, until the case is determined, with due regards to the distance.
