Nsoatreman F.C have reportedly withdrawn from the Ghana Premier League following a violent incident during their match against Asante Kotoko.
According to Kessben sports, the team has submitted an official letter to the Ghana Football Association (GFA) regarding the decision.
The club cited concerns about the safety of their players, who are supposedly at risk of attack due to the death of Asante Kotoko fan Yaw Frimpong, popularly known as Pooley.
Nsoatreman indicated that their withdrawal will allow them to implement measures to ensure peace prevails while the investigation into the case is ongoing.
A passionate Kotoko supporter, Pooley was fatally stabbed during a melee at the match between Kotoko and Nsoatreman in Nsoatre, Bono Region, on January 2, 2024.
Multiple reports suggest he was stabbed five times and succumbed to his injuries at the hospital.
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) have banned Nsoatreman from using their home venue and initiated a probe into the violent incident to identify and punish the culprits.
