Following the attack on Tamale City players and officials on Sunday, Aduana Stars have received a temporary ban from using the Nana Agyeman Badu I Stadium in Dormaa.
The Ghana FA has closed down the venue temporarily in accordance with Article 14(2) of the GFA Premier League Regulations.
In a statement released by the Ghana FA, the Executive Council has ordered the temporary ban on Aduana FC from using the Nana Agyeman Badu I Stadium as its home venue with immediate effect. The decision has been made due to the unfortunate incidents that occurred after the Match day 25 between Aduana FC and Tamale City FC, which took place on April 2, 2023, outside the stadium.
The GFA Premier League Regulations Article 14(2) allows the GFA to order the closure of any league centre where the safety of clubs, match officials or spectators cannot be guaranteed. The Competitions Department has been advised to determine the venue for the Club’s subsequent home matches in accordance with Article 14(3) Premier League Regulations.
However, this order does not affect the determination of the case pending before the Disciplinary Committee, who have been charged to hear the case in accordance with the relevant Regulations.
