Accra Hearts of Oak have been fined by the Disciplinary Committee of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) after being found guilty of a security breach.
The breach came during their Ghana Premier League (GPL) fixture against Young Apostles FC on March 8, 2025.
The Phobians are expected to pay GHS 20,000, with GHS 10,000 suspended for the remainder of the season as announced by the GFA on Tuesday, March 25.
The incident occurred during the 2-0 win over the newly promoted side at the University of Ghana Stadium, Legon, as they allowed unaccredited individuals, specifically supporters, into the safety zone.
The breach came just after the league had resumed following a one-month suspension due to the stabbing of an Asante Kotoko fan.
Before the league's resumption, the GFA announced enhanced matchday protocols, ostensibly to tighten existing protocols, with the Accra-based side going against the measures.
Hearts have also been warned that "any further misconduct will attract severe sanctions."
