Berekum Arsenals have been dealt a big blow after being handed a three-match home ban and fined for improper conduct during a home league match against Liberty Professionals.
The Gunners have been fined 8,000 Ghana cedis (US$ 5000) for the unruly behavior of their home supporters on match day 24 at the Golden City Park.
Chief Executive Alhaji Yakubu Moro was also fined by the disciplinary committee for instigating the fans to attack the match officials.
Players and match officials were held hostage on the field by the rampaging fans in the crucial game after Michael Helegbe had scored the only goal of the match with few minutes remaining.
The ruling will be crucial for the side which is involved in the relegation tussle.
Arsenals tackle relegated BA Stars on Sunday in the penultimate fixture and will have to honour their final league match against New Edubiase away from home.
