A branch of the supporters’ wing of Accra Hearts of Oak in Kumasi are threatening to prevent the club from playing their crucial Ghana Premier League match against Berekum Chelsea.

A report by Asempa FM indicates that the Chapter 9 branch of the club on Wednesday, June 7, 2023 issued a threat to the club that they will prevent the team’s bus from passing through Kumasi en route to Berekum for the match.

The fans, according to the report will ensure the team's bus is crippled once it gets to Kumasi for the match.

They also warned that if the club flies into Kumasi, they will still activate countermeasures which will prevent the club from getting to Berekum to play the game.

Relegation will be staring Hearts of Oak in the face when they journey to Berekum to take on Chelsea on Sunday, June 11, 2023.

Hearts of Oak are currently on a four-game losing streak after their 2-1 loss to Real Tamale United at home on Sunday, June 4, 2023.
