The Ghana Football Association has banned Dompem Gold Stars from using the Bordie Park where the late referee Kyei Andoh was beaten by fans.

The young referee died five days later.

The case has been referred to the police while waiting for the final autopsy report of the deceased before further actions are taken.

The Ghana Football Association says it would foot part of the funeral bills.

“While we still wait for the autopsy to be confirmed, the Western Region Football Association have decided on their own to take the cost of the casket for referee Kyei.

“The Ghana Football Association will also foot some of the bills towards his funeral.

“In the coming days, we will meet again and also meet with the Police in the Western Region to look at the other measures to be taken.

“We will not rule out anything. The Police will be examining the match reports and we will take every action necessary to make things right,” according to GFA spokesperson, Ibrahim Saani Daara.
