The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has confirmed that the individual who invaded the pitch during Ghana’s World Cup qualifier against Chad has been sentenced to 100 days in prison.
The incident occurred last Friday during Matchday 5 of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers when Mohammed Huzeinu disrupted the game by running onto the field.
His actions could have financial repercussions for the GFA, as the Confederation of African Football (CAF) may impose a fine on the association.
Pitch invasions are regarded as serious security breaches that interfere with the smooth flow of matches.
Huzeinu’s sentencing serves as a strong deterrent to other fans, reinforcing the need to adhere to stadium regulations and maintain order during games.
The GFA has urged supporters to refrain from such behavior, stressing the importance of discipline and compliance with match-day protocols to avoid sanctions and uphold Ghana’s reputation in international football.
