Frederick Acheampong, a member of the Ghana Football Association’s (GFA) Executive Council, has cautioned that Nsoatreman FC will face consequences if they follow through with their decision to withdraw from the Ghana Premier League.
The club has been at the center of controversy following the tragic death of Asante Kotoko fan, Francis Yaw Frimpong, popularly known as Nana Pooley, during their Matchday 19 clash in the ongoing 2024/25 season. The incident has sparked widespread condemnation, both locally and internationally.
In response to the violence, the GFA suspended Matchday 20 fixtures as part of efforts to enforce regulations and maintain order at match venues.
Amid the turmoil, Nsoatreman FC announced their decision to pull out of the league. However, Acheampong has stressed that such a move comes with repercussions.
“The regulations are clear. If a club enters a competition and decides to withdraw midway, there are consequences,” he stated.
“Nsoatreman committed to playing the league until the end. If they opt out now, the Premier League regulations will apply accordingly.”
Meanwhile, the Ghana Police Service has arrested six individuals, including Nsoatreman FC owner Ignatius Baffour Awuah, in connection with the tragic incident.
