The Disciplinary Board of the Confederation of African Football (CAF) has levied a fine of Fifteen Thousand Dollars ($15,000) on the Ghana Football Association following incidents involving fans during the Africa Cup of Nations Match 4 between Ghana and Cape Verde on Sunday, January 14, 2024.

According to the Safety and Security Official’s report, two groups of Ghanaian supporters engaged in a scuffle at half-time at stand N°18, with the use of tear gas during the incident. The Disciplinary Board made the decision after a thorough examination of all facts, allegations, legal arguments, and evidence presented during the proceedings.

The Ghana Football Association is required to settle the fine within 60 days from the date of the decision.

In response, the Ghana Football Association released a statement urging supporter groups and all Ghanaians present in Cote d’Ivoire to support the Black Stars with the utmost decorum within the laws of the game. The statement also mentioned plans to collaborate with the Ministry of Youth and Sports, which oversaw the supporters’ travel to the tournament, and the leaders of the supporter groups to prevent any future occurrences.
