Hearts of Oak defender, Hussein Mohammed charged by FA after post-match attacks on referee
10th November 2025
Hearts of Oak defender Hussein Mohammed has been formally charged by the Ghana Football Association (GFA) for misconduct, following a heated post-match incident involving referee Reginald Collins Amoah after Sunday’s Super Clash defeat to Asante Kotoko.
The confrontation reportedly occurred after the final whistle, as Amoah and his assistants were heading to the dressing room. Hussein is alleged to have rushed toward the referee in anger, but was restrained by police officers assigned to protect the officiating team.
Breach of GFA Disciplinary Code
The GFA cited violations of:
- Article 12(1)(k): Prohibits threatening behavior toward match officials
- Article 34(6)(d): Covers attempted assault or intimidation of referees
The incident follows a tense 1–0 defeat, in which Amoah awarded Kotoko a first-half penalty and later ruled out Mawuli Wayo’s stoppage-time equaliser for offside — decisions that sparked protests from Hearts players and fans.
Deadline to Respond
Hussein Mohammed has until Tuesday, November 11, 2025, to respond to the charge, as the GFA begins its disciplinary review.
