GFA Lifts Kukurantumi Ohene Park Ban, Fines Port City and True Democracy
The Disciplinary Committee of the Football Association has lifted the temporary ban imposed on Port City Football Club’s home venue, Kukurantumi Ohene Park.
The ban was imposed following investigations into the crowd disturbances that marred their Division One League match against True Democracy on January 4, 2026.
However, after reviewing the circumstances and the measures put in place, the Disciplinary Committee lifted the ban.
In place of the ban, Port City FC has been fined GHc10,000 and given a 14-day ultimatum to settle the fine after being 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.
The Zone Three side has been further 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.
