Bechem United in-form defender Samuel Osei Kuffuor has been charged for a misconduct in the Ghana Premier League Matchday 19 game against Asante Kotoko.
The game which ended in a stalemate saw Osei Kuffuor at the centre of improper behavior following a challenge on Cameroonian striker Frank Mbella Etuoga of Asante Kotoko.
Kuffuor went in a physical challenge with Frank Etouga Mbella for the ball in the 22nd minute but intentionally hit Mbella with a silly stamp in off the ball incident.
Bechem United had earlier condemned the actions of their player and went further by issuing an apology for Kuffour’s conduct. The Disciplinary Committee have however, moved swiftly with a decision on the incident.
“Osei Kuffour is charged with a breach of Article 34(6) (d) of the GFA Premier League Regulations, 2019.
“According to the charge sheet, Samuel Osei Kuffour did intentionally kick player number 11 of Asante Kotoko SC (Frank Thierry Etouga Mbella) in an off-ball situation, an action which in the opinion of the association is an improper behavior and likely to bring the game into disrepute.
The Disciplinary Committee has given the defender Thursday, March 10, 2022 to respond to the charge.
“The player is expected to respond to the charge by 5:00pm on Thursday, March 10, 2022 failing which the GFA Disciplinary Committee will proceed to adjudicate the case without his Statement of Defence.”
