The Executive Council of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) has banned the Wamanafo Town park indefinitely with immediate effect.
This decision was taken following assault on the referees at Wamanafo by the home supporters in the Division One League match between Wamanafo Mighty Royals FC and Tano Bofoakwa FC on Sunday, March 28, 2021.
The Competitions Department of the GFA will now fix the venues for the upcoming home matches of Wamanafo Mighty Royals FC with due regards to the distance to be travelled by the away teams.
Excerpts of the letter sent to the club:
The Football Association is shocked and extremely alarmed at the criminal assaults on the Referees at Wamanafo by the home supporters in the Division One League match between Wamanafo Mighty Royals FC and Tano Bofoakwa FC on Sunday, March 28, 2021.
Again, considering the fact that the Association has a process for complaining about any alleged bad officiating and a redress through the Match Review Panel, the Executive Council of the Association see any attack on the Match Officials as “an attack against the entire sport, it being, unwarranted and criminal”.
The Executive Council has accordingly exercised its powers under Article 14(2) of the Division One League Regulations and has ban the venue indefinitely.
