Berekum Chelsea has been charged with a violation of Section 16 of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) Disciplinary Code, 2019, following their recent Ghana Premier League match against Asante Kotoko on Sunday.

The charges arise from allegations that the club failed to guarantee the safety of the match officials during the game and that their supporters exhibited inappropriate behavior.

This incident occurred during a heated clash at the Berekum Golden City Park, which ended in a 1-1 draw.

While both teams delivered commendable performances, the off-field events have attracted the GFA's attention.

The GFA has given Berekum Chelsea until Wednesday, October 2, 2024, to respond to these charges.

The club's management is expected to address the allegations and provide any mitigating factors for consideration.

This situation adds an additional layer of scrutiny to Berekum Chelsea's ongoing campaign in the league, where they currently sit in seventh place.

The club is keen to improve their standing while ensuring that fan conduct remains within the acceptable boundaries established by the GFA.

The outcome of this disciplinary action could significantly impact the club's reputation and their overall performance in the Ghana Premier League this season.
