Ghana Premier League to resume on March 1 – Report

-

The Ghana Premier League is expected to resume on March 1, according to a report by Happy FM.

The league was suspended following the tragic death of Asante Kotoko fan Francis Frimpong, popularly known as Nana Pooley.

Pooley was fatally stabbed at Nana Kronmansah Park during a Matchday 19 clash between Nsoatreman FC and Asante Kotoko in Nsoatre.

In response to the incident, the Ghana Football Association (GFA) postponed the Matchday 20 fixtures and held discussions with club executives on improving safety measures at league venues.

Following these meetings, the GFA has introduced stricter safety and matchday protocols, which all clubs must adhere to. Teams that fail to comply will face fines and potential home bans.

While the FA Cup Round of 16 fixtures are set to proceed this weekend, Happy FM reports that the second half of the 2024/25 Ghana Premier League will resume on March 1.

Meanwhile, Asante Kotoko, who returned to training on Wednesday, has declared that they will not participate in any official competition until justice is served for Pooley’s death.

The suspect, identified as Brimah, remains on the run.
