Kurt Okraku, the President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), has expressed his deep regret following Nsoatreman FC’s decision to pull out of the 2024/25 Ghana Premier League.
The club, located in Twumasi, cited player safety concerns as the reason for their withdrawal. This decision comes after the tragic death of Kotoko fan Francis Frimpong, also known as Nana Pooley, who was stabbed during a league match on February 2.
Additionally, the team was reportedly assaulted by unknown individuals while traveling to face Samartex in Bibiani, Ahafo Region.
In an interview, Okraku conveyed his disappointment. “It’s unfortunate because Ignatius Baffour Awuah is my good friend. For someone who has invested in football to experience this is truly sad,” he shared.
“However, it’s ultimately their decision, and we must respect their choice,” he added.
