  1. That while taking due cognisant of the fact that the Division One League Board (the body mandated to manage the second-tier competition) issued a statement earlier condemning in no uncertain terms the unfortunate violent incidents, the Executive Council also wishes to condemn without any reservations, the criminal conduct, assault and public disorder and the violations of the GFA Match day Protocols (Number of spectators admitted, lack of social distancing, etc) that took place at the Sunyani Coronation Park.
  1. That the Executive Council would like to place on record that the GFA has submitted footage of the unfortunate incident to the Ghana Police in Sunyani to assist them investigate and to effect the necessary arrest and prosecution of all persons identified in the footage who were engaged in the criminal assault of the match officials, destroying property and dragging the game in the mud. The GFA is urging members of the general public with any video which may be useful to the Ghana Police Service to kindly submit same to the Association or the Police.
  1. That the Executive Council wishes to reiterate that criminal conduct at a football venue must be handled the same way criminal conduct is handled generally in Ghana by law. The Association therefore urges the Ghana Police Service to leave no stone unturned in pursuing the perpetrators and to use all legal means to bring them to justice.

  1. That the Disciplinary Committee has been tasked to sit on this matter expeditiously. The Executive Council further urges the judicial bodies of the GFA to fast track the adjudicating process of all cases before them as the season winds up.
  1. That in the exercise of its powers under the Division One League Regulations, the Executive Council has decided that Brong Ahafo United FC is temporary banned from using the Sunyani Coronation Park as its home venue.
  1. That all the 16 clubs in Division One League Zone 1 are hereby directed to play their remaining league matches of the season behind closed doors without failure and that any violation shall be severely punished.

  1. No other person shall be in attendance apart from the 18 players and the 7 Technical Team members from each club, Match Officials, Medical Personnel for the match, 8 ball boys and the agreed number of Police and Military officers sanctioned by the GFA. This shall strictly be enforced.
  1. That the Home Team is reminded of their responsibility under the Division One League Regulations to arrange and pay for effective security for their home matches.
