Kotoko banned from Baba Yara Stadium

Kumasi Asante Kotoko has been banned from playing its matches at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi by the Ghana Football Association.

It comes after a supporter was shot in the eye after fan agitation following a defeat of Kotoko by Berekum Chelsea at Baba Yara Sunday.



A statement announcing the ban said: “Article 14 (2) of the GFA Premier League Regulations states that: ‘the GFA may order the closure of any league centre/venue where the safety of clubs, match officials and/or spectators cannot be guaranteed”.

“The GFA Prosecutor shall prefer charges against any person/party found to have breached any provision of the GFA Regulations or Disciplinary Code,” it added.
