The Disciplinary Committee of the Football Association has lifted the temporary ban imposed on Port City Football Club’s home venue, Kukurantumi Ohene Park, following investigations into the crowd disturbances that marred their Division One League match against True Democracy on January 4, 2026.
Despite the lifting of the venue ban, Port City FC have been found guilty of inappropriate conduct by their supporters, in breach of Articles 16(2)(f) and 16(2)(h) of the GFA Disciplinary Code, 2019. As a result, the Zone Three side has been fined GHS10,000 and given a 14-day ultimatum to settle the fine. The club has also been cautioned that any further misconduct will attract more severe sanctions.
The Disciplinary Committee also found True Democracy guilty of causing an invasion of a designated restricted area by their supporters, contrary to Article 10(g)(vi) of the Enhanced Matchday Safety and Security Protocols, 2025. The club has been fined GHS30,000 and similarly granted 14 days to pay the fine, with a stern warning issued against any future infractions.
The incident prompted the Executive Council of the Football Association to impose an indefinite temporary ban on Kukurantumi Ohene Park in the immediate aftermath of the violence that erupted during the January 4 encounter in Kukurantumi.
Following a review of the circumstances and the measures put in place, the Disciplinary Committee has now lifted the ban.
The FA has reiterated its commitment to enforcing strict disciplinary measures to ensure safety, order, and professionalism at match venues, stressing that clubs will be held accountable for the conduct of their supporters during league matches. GFA Communications
