Berekum Chelsea FC has been charged by the Ghana Football Association (GFA) for breaching several articles of the GFA FA Cup Regulations, 2019, following their MTN FA Cup semi-final clash against Asante Kotoko SC at Tarkwa TNA Park.
The charges, which include violations of Articles 1(c), 1(d), 2(c), 2(d), 2(e), and 14(f), stem from the club’s alleged refusal to wear the official branding of the competition’s headline sponsor, MTN, on the front of their jerseys during the match.Â
This action reportedly defied clear marketing directives issued by the GFA prior to the fixture.
The GFA has set a deadline of Monday, May 26, 2025, for Berekum Chelsea to officially respond to the charges.
This development comes amid growing scrutiny over compliance with sponsorship obligations in Ghanaian football.Â
