Ebusua Dwarfs impose stadium ban on supporter over persistent attacks on match officials

Ebusua Dwarfs have handed a stadium ban to a supporter over repeated attacks on match officials, signaling the clubs zero-tolerance approach to abusive behavior and its commitment to ensuring the safety of officials during home matches.The decision stems from a recent sanction by the Disciplinary Committee of the Ghana Football Association, which handed the Division One League outfit a five-game home match ban and a GH15,000 fine after supporters reportedly gained access to restricted areas of the stadium and assaulted match officials during the game.Additionally, the disciplinary body issued the club with a formal warning for failing to provide adequate security for match officials.Speaking to Medeamaa FM, Isaac Fynn-Cudjoe, Communications Director of the Cape Coast-based club, disclosed that the management have resolved to impose a stadium ban on the supporter due to the persistent attacks on match officials. Besides, the supporter will be required to pay part of the fine imposed on the club.The supporter who led the attack on match officials during our game against Legon Cities in the 2021 GPL season is the same person who attacked the match officials in our recent game against Nsuopun Fidelity, which has resulted in the five-match home ban and the GH15,000 fine imposed on us by the Disciplinary CommitteeThe club has now decided to impose a stadium ban on him and will also ask him to pay part of the GH15,000 fine. The sad thing is that he does not even pay gate fees to watch our matches he said.The sanctions take immediate effect, meaning Ebusua Dwarfs will be unable to host their next five home fixtures at their regular venue as directed by the GFA. The club must also settle the imposed fine within fourteen days of receiving official notification.The development represents a setback for the Cape Coast-based club as they push for promotion to the Ghana Premier League. Ebusua Dwarfs are currently five points behind the leaders FC AshantiGold 04, the position that guarantees automatic qualification, and being forced to play their next home fixtures away from their usual ground could affect their chances of closing that gap.
