Ghana Premier League club Accra Lions has been fined GH¢5,000 by the Ghana Football Association (GFA) for misconduct.

The club was found guilty of making inappropriate comments about match officials on social media, a move the GFA’s Disciplinary Committee says damages the reputation of the game.

The controversy arose during Accra Lions’ 1-0 defeat to Dreams FC.

The club’s social media post suggested that unseen forces had influenced the match outcome in favor of Dreams FC.

Following this, the GFA Prosecutor charged the club with violating section 34(6)(d) of the GFA Premier League Regulations, 2019.

The post was deemed misconduct that tarnished the image of football in the country.

In addition to the fine, Accra Lions has been warned to maintain good conduct and avoid similar actions in the future.
