GHPL: Karela United pledges to comply with GFA ban

News

Karela United Chief Executive Officer, Elloeny Amande has reiterated that his outfit will totally comply with the ban of their venue by the Ghana Football Association [GFA].

The Crosby Awuah Memorial Park has been banned indefinitely following an attack by the club’s supporters on players and officials of Medeama after their MTN FA Cup Round of 32 game last Sunday, a game Medeama won 2-1.

According to Amande, he is disappointed by the unruly action by the club’s supporters, said even though it was the first time such a violent act had happened at their Anyinase venue, the club did not subscribe to any act of violence and were ready to submit to whatever investigations to be carried out.

“I think the issue is that something has gone horribly wrong and has to be tackled so, in essence, we are not against the actions that are being taken to ensure that lives are protected at the venue,” Mr Amande told the Daily Graphic.

Mr Amande explained that even before last Sunday’s game, tension had heightened among the Karela supporters who unusually had organised a series of meetings plotting to avenge the attack they suffered at Tarkwa.

But the club’s management picked up intelligence and decided to engage their supporters to calm down.

“The fans were very agitated throughout the whole week and the management had to engage with them to try and quell the signals that were being picked up,” he added.

Karela United, however, suffered a 2-1 defeat to Asante Kotoko in their matchday 30 games at the Obuasi Len Clay Stadium on Wednesday.

The defeat leave Karela at the 5th position with 46 points.
