The Ghana Football Association (GFA) Disciplinary Committee has sanctioned four Berekum Chelsea players—Mizack Afriyie, Stephen Amankona, Zakaria Fuseini, and Seidu Mohammed—for misconduct during their MTN FA Cup semi-final clash against Asante Kotoko.
According to an official GFA update, the players were each fined GHS 1,000 after being found guilty of unsporting behaviour towards the match officials.
While the fines have been issued, the GFA revealed that they have been suspended for a period of six months, effectively serving as a warning to the players involved.
The statement further emphasized that any recurrence of such misconduct will attract more severe sanctions, potentially including longer bans or heavier fines.
The decision reflects the GFA’s ongoing effort to reinforce discipline and respect for officiating within Ghana football, particularly during high-stakes competitions like the MTN FA Cup.
The association’s firm stance sends a clear message to players and clubs alike that misconduct and disrespect towards referees will not be tolerated, as the league strives to improve its image and integrity.
This latest disciplinary move adds to growing scrutiny over player conduct and officiating standards, especially as the 2024/25 football season approaches its climax.
