Nsoatreman withdraws from GFA competitions over safety, security concerns

The defending MTN FA Cup champions, Nsoatreman FC, have announced their withdrawal from all Ghana Football Association (GFA) competitions.
This implies that Nsoatreman FC will be unable to play their week 24 match against Basake Holy Stars this weekend.
A club statement indicated that the withdrawal was due to the security and safety of its players upon the restart of the competition.
It said that the reasons for withdrawing from the league and other competitions stemmed from their match with Kotoko, which resulted in the death of a football fan.
“We write to respectfully withdraw from the ongoing Ghana Premier League and any other competitions organised by the GFA due to concerns over the security and safety of our players.
“We are forced to take this decision due to recent events involving our matches with Kumasi Asante Kotoko and Samatex FC, which we officially wrote to your high office.
“In light of this, we can no longer guarantee the safety of our players; therefore, management and the board of directors are left with no choice but to prioritise the safety and security of our players by withdrawing from the league.
“We regret any inconveniences this decision may cause. Thank you for your cooperation,” the statement said.
