Hearts of Lions coach Bashir Hayford has been charged with “misconduct” by the Disciplinary Committee of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) following the matchday 28 fixture against Bechem United at the Nana Fosu Gyeabour Park on Saturday, April 27.
Despite the match ending in a 1-1 draw, the second half witnessed a disruptive incident where the visitors’ coach and his players stormed onto the field, temporarily halting play.
Hayford even brought a seat onto the pitch to protest against perceived poor officiating. This behavior has led to the misconduct charge against him.
Additionally, seven Bechem United officials are set to face the Committee on Thursday over allegations of attacking match officials, with the club also facing charges.
Veteran coach Bashir Hayford has until Monday, May 6, to respond to the charge, which violates Section 34(6)(d) of the GFA Premier League Regulations 2019.
