The Club Licensing Committee of the Ghana Football Association has released its decision on the Sunyani Coronation Park following the decision of Tano Bofoakwa, B.A United and Young Apostles to appeal an earlier decision of the Committee not to approve the venue for the 2021/22 football season.

The Executive Council of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), in July imposed a temporary ban on the Sunyani Coronation Park, the home grounds of Division One League side, Brong Ahafo United FC.
This follows assault on the referee who officiated the game involving Real Tamale United and BA United by fans at the Sunyani Coronation Park during a division one game.

Full decision of the Club Licensing Committee:
