The Premier League Board has postponed the match day 23 encounter between Kumasi Asante Kotoko and Accra Hearts of Oak indefinitely.
This is due to the accident players and officials of the club were involved in on the evening of Wednesday when the club was travelling back to Kumasi from Accra where they lost their mid week encounter at Inter Allies.
A statement from the PLB said ” The Premier League Board (PLB) has postponed the match day 23 Premier League fixture between Kumasi Asante Kotoko and Accra Hearts of Oak which was scheduled for Sunday July 16 at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium in Kumasi. The decision to postpone the match indefinitely follows the tragic accident involving Asante Kotoko on their way to Kumasi after their Match Day 22 league match with Inter Allies in Accra”.
The statement asked clubs for the “observation of a minute silence in honour of the departed official of Kotoko before all Match Day 23 Premier League matches”.
Meanwhile the PLB has directed all club officials and players to wear red and black armbands for the seven Match DAY 23 matches, which will go ahead as scheduled, except that the matches have been moved to Sunday instead of the earlier announced Saturday. The only Saturday match will be the televised game between Bechem United and Bolga All Stars.
