Misconduct charges for Kotoko players

The Ghana Football Association will clamp down heavily on Kumasi Asante Kotoko after their medal presentation at the President’s Cup.

KickOffGhana.com understands every member of the Kotoko playing body and technical staff whose name appeared on the team list will be charged with misconduct by the disciplinary committee of the Ghana Football Association.

Kotoko have been handed a one-year ban from all football activities organized by the Ghana League Clubs Association and fined GHC 10 000 for snubbing the medal presentation ceremony.

They have challenged that ban on the grounds that the present management of GHALCA has no powers to inflict punishment in them.

But now each member of the playing staff for that July 1st game against Berekum Chelsea could be heavily fined and suspended by the Ghana Football Association, who sanctioned the game.
