Elmina Sharks to play behind closed doors for rest of season, fined GHS 20,000 for misconduct

The Ghana Football Association’s Disciplinary Committee has banned Elmina Sharks from their stadium. This ban lasts for the entire 2024/25 season.

The decision follows misconduct during a league game. The incident occurred on February 16, 2025, against Swedru All Blacks.

Elmina Sharks failed to ensure the safety of match officials. Their fans also displayed improper behavior during the game.

As a result, the club must play all home games behind closed doors.

Additionally, Elmina Sharks have been fined GHS 20,000. They received a warning that any violations will lead to a 10-game home match ban.

This action aims to reduce hooliganism in football.
