The Disciplinary Committee of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) has fined Accra Hearts of Oak, Medeama SC and Karela United for flouting the match-day Covid-19 protocols at their respective match venues.
The Committee, chaired by Osei Kwadwo Adow, stated that the three clubs violated Articles 6.1 of the GFA match-day Covid-19 protocols.
Hearts of Oak breached the law in their game against Accra Great Olympics played on January 30, 2021, and thereby was fined Ghc5,000.00.
Medeama has also been fined Ghc3,000.00 for equally flouting the rule in the game against Hearts of Oak in the first round of the Ghana premier league.
Also, Karela United will pay the same amount as Medeama SC as a sanction fee for violating the rules in their match against Accra Hearts of Oak played on February 4, 2021, at the CAM Park.
