GPL 2026/27: Kotoko, Debibi United face GFA charges after opening-day draw
"It is alleged that both clubs failed to publish video highlights of the match within 48 hours after the game. The clubs have until Friday, September 11, to respond to the charges,” the FA said in a statement.
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has issued charges against Asante Kotoko and Debibi United for a potential violation of Premier League regulations after their opening-day draw. The match concluded with both teams securing a 2-2 draw, marking Debibi United's historic first appearance in the Ghana Premier League. Kotoko had appeared set for a victory, as they took the lead through Yakubu Dogo.
However, Debibi United fought back twice to level the score and earn a point. Despite the drawn result, the GFA has initiated disciplinary proceedings against both clubs for their treatment of match highlights. The clubs were alleged to have failed to publish video highlights of the match within 48 hours following the game. The GFA gave the clubs until September 11 to respond to the charges.
Meanwhile, Kotoko will now focus on their following match, where they will host Heart of Lions. Similarly, Debibi United will face another challenge against Bechem United in their subsequent league match.
