Nations FC threaten Premier League exit after matchday chaos
By Lukman MUMIN, Accra
Nations FC are contemplating quitting the Ghana Premier League following an unfortunate incident during their clash against Basake Holy Stars.
The match, held at Crosby Awuah Memorial Park, ended abruptly when Nations FC walked off the pitch in protest of officiating decisions in a high-stakes clash on Sunday.
Before this incident, the home team had taken the lead from the penalty spot in the 32nd minute.
Nations FC went into the match four points clear at the top of the league standings, needing two wins from their final two games to secure a historic Ghana Premier League title.
Holy Stars, on the other hand, needed to avoid defeat in the much-anticipated clash to help avoid relegation at the end of the campaign.
In an interview, Boakye Ansah, the Brands Manager of Nations FC, said, “You just wanted three points and threatened lives. They told us either we lose the game or they kill someone. This prompted our decision not to continue the match. For now, they should take their league.”
He emphasized that the side is no longer interested in Ghana football amid recent happenings. “Everything depends on the report of the Match Commissioner. We will file an official complaint to the GFA and see whatever decision the FA will take. We are not interested in Ghana football anymore. We are tired.”
