Kwame Twumasi Danquah is the CEO of Nations FC. He explained why the club abandoned their match against Basake Holy Stars. The game was set to take place at CAM Park. Serious security concerns prompted the decision.
Before kick-off, supporters in the VIP section began insulting and threatening players. This created a hostile environment for both teams and officials. Danquah stated that they raised these issues with the match commissioner before starting.
Basake Holy Stars has been trending in Ghana due to this incident. Witnesses reported that Nations FC players walked off the pitch during the game. They refused to play because of inadequate police presence at the venue.
Danquah emphasized that safety was their priority. They could not risk their players' well-being amid hostile fans and poor security. Despite repeated requests for more officers, none arrived.
With safety concerns growing, Nations FC decided to abandon the match in protest. The refusal to play started about 15–20 minutes after kickoff time.
This incident highlights serious issues with matchday security in Ghanaian football venues. Nations FC is calling for accountability from organizers and authorities. The Ghana Football Association will review the situation and decide on next steps.
