GPL 2026/27: Asante Kotoko, Coach Boadu and two players charged by GFA

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has charged Asante Kotoko, Aduana FC head coach Samuel Boadu, and two players, Hubert Gyau and Seidu Saana, following a recent match between the two clubs. The charges stem from allegations related to fan behavior and player conduct during and after the match.

Asante Kotoko faces a charge concerning their supporters who allegedly threw objects onto the field of play after the game. The club is given until 30 September 2026 to respond to the charge.

Coach Boadu has been charged for making improper and provocative gestures towards Kotoko supporters following Aduana's 2-0 victory at the Baba Yara Stadium. He allegedly gestured to Kotoko fans to "shut up" after the final whistle. Boadu has until the same deadline to respond to the charge.

Both players, Gyau and Saana, have been charged for behaving in an improper and unsporting manner during the pre-match formalities. They are also accused of bringing the game into disrepute. Both players have until 30 September to respond to their respective charges.

Aduana FC won the match with goals from Amankona and Saana, ending Kotoko's unbeaten start to the campaign. The victory also marked Aduana's first win at the Baba Yara Stadium since 2021.
