Nsoatreman FC have confirmed their withdrawal from the ongoing 2024/25 Ghana Premier League due to concerns over the “security and safety” of their players.
Confirming the news to Plan B Sports, Dan K. Pobi Okocha, the PRO of the club, Joel Kofi Gyempeh stated that the security of their players and officials is of utmost importance hence their withdrawal from the league.
It is understood that aggrieved supporters intend to retaliate after Kotoko fan Francis Frimpong Pooley was stabbed to death during the Porcupines’ clash with Nsoatreman on February 2.
This follows a recent alleged attack by unknown persons in Kukuom in the Ahafo Region on Monday when Nsoatreman travelled to face Samartex at Bibiani Duns Park.
The Nsoatre-based side say they are “forced to take this decision” to ensure the safety of their players.
