Bechem United are facing serious disciplinary action after being charged with multiple breaches of the GFA Disciplinary Code (2019) and the GFA Premier League Regulations (2025) following a volatile 0-0 draw against Karela United.
According to the GFA Prosecutor, the club has been cited under Article 16(2)(b) of the Disciplinary Code, which addresses the conduct of supporters and the responsibility of host clubs to ensure matchday safety.
It is alleged that fans at the Nana Fosu Gyeabour Park threw various objects onto the field and at match officials during the encounter.
The club is further charged under Article 34(6)(d) of the 2025 Premier League Regulations for failing to control its technical team and officials, who reportedly entered the pitch in an aggressive manner after the final whistle.
The match, which saw Bechem's Rasco Abassah London sent off in the 88th minute, ended in frustration for the home side, leaving them 12th in the Ghana Premier League standings.
The Ghana Football Association has given Bechem United until the close of Tuesday, March 10, 2026, to respond to these charges.
Under the current regulatory framework, the club has the option to either submit a written statement of defense or request a personal hearing before the Disciplinary Committee.
These specific articles are designed to protect the integrity of the game and the safety of match officials, with potential sanctions ranging from heavy fines to home-ground bans if the club is found guilty.
Similar misconduct cases in the 2025/26 season have seen clubs like Asante Kotoko and Swedru All Blacks face charges under similar provisions, as the GFA continues its "zero-tolerance" policy regarding hooliganism and official misconduct.
