Disciplinary Board of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) has levied a fine of $15,000 against the Ghana Football Association for incidents involving fans during the Africa Cup of Nations Match 4 between Ghana and Cape Verde on January 14, 2024.
According to the Safety and Security Official, there was a disturbance at halftime at stand N°18, involving two groups of Ghanaian supporters, with the use of tear gas during the altercation.
The Disciplinary Board reached this decision after a thorough examination of all facts, allegations, legal arguments, and evidence presented during the proceedings. The Ghana Football Association is required to settle the fine within 60 days from the date of the decision.
GFA, in a statement, called on the “supporter groups and all Ghanaians who are in Côte d’Ivoire to cheer the Black Stars to put up the best of behaviour within the laws of the game.”
“The Ghana Football Association will liaise with the Ministry of Youth and Sports, under whose authority the supporters travelled to the tournament, and the leadership of the supporters groups to avoid any future occurrence,” the GFA added in its statement.
