GFA Launches Investigation into Nations FC-Holy Stars Controversy
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has officially begun investigations into the chaotic events that unfolded during the recent Ghana Premier League match between Nations Football Club and Basake Holy Stars. The GFA’s announcement comes in response to incidents of violence and disorder that marred the game, which Nations FC abandoned while trailing 1-0.
The match, held over the weekend, saw Nations FC walk off the field after heated exchanges with match officials and opposing players, particularly following the awarding of a second penalty to Holy Stars. This decision incited protests from Nations FC, leading to their early exit from the game.
In a statement released on Tuesday, the GFA emphasized its commitment to addressing the situation “expeditiously” and “decisively.” The association has urged all parties involved to cooperate fully with the investigation to ensure a fair resolution.
Nations FC entered the match needing a win to secure the league title, making the abandonment even more controversial. The GFA reassured stakeholders, including clubs, players, and fans, that it remains dedicated to maintaining the integrity of the game.
