The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has ordered a temporary ban on Asante Kotoko SC. from using the Baba Yara Stadium, Kumasi as its home venue with immediate effect for four matches.
This decision has become necessary in view of the unfortunate incident when a cross section of their fans attacked center Referee Biney after Kotoko lost by 0-1 to Kpando Hearts at home.
This means the most anticipated return leg between Kotoko and Hearts will not come off at the Baba Yara as scheduled. Meanwhile, the MTN FA Cup match Kotoko and Ashgold will now be played at the Accra Stadium.
The Executive Committee of the GFA took the decision is in accordance with Article 15 (2) of the GFA Regulations which states that the GFA may order the closure of any league centre where the safety of Clubs, Match Officials or Spectators cannot be guaranteed.
Meanwhile the GFA has asked the Premier League Board to determine the venue for the Club’s subsequent home matches in accordance with the provision of Article 15 (3) of the Regulations.
