The Disciplinary Committee of the Ghana Football Association has handed Hohoe United FC a four-year suspension from all domestic competitions, effectively sidelining the club until the 2029/2030 football season.

The sanction, announced on Friday, May 1, 2026, stems from Hohoe United’s unilateral withdrawal from the ongoing 2025/26 Ghana Premier League campaign—an action deemed a clear violation of Article 13 of the league’s regulations.

According to the Committee’s findings, the club formally notified the GFA of its decision to exit the competition on April 1, 2026, triggering disciplinary proceedings that culminated in this severe punishment.

Beyond the suspension, the ruling carries sweeping implications for the club’s future.

All registered players of Hohoe United are to be granted free agent status through the GFA’s Players’ Status Committee, although existing contractual obligations tied to their transfers remain binding.

This move effectively opens the door for players to seek opportunities elsewhere while safeguarding prior agreements.

The Committee further ordered the club to refund all forms of support received from the GFA during the 2025/26 season, including financial assistance and logistical provisions such as equipment.

Importantly, the decision underscores that the suspension does not erase any outstanding financial liabilities the club may owe to the GFA or affiliated parties.

Looking ahead, Hohoe United faces an uphill path to redemption. Upon completion of the suspension, the club will not return directly to top-flight football but will instead be demoted to Division Two under the Greater Accra Regional Football Association.

In accordance with GFA statutes, the ruling provides a narrow window for recourse.

Any aggrieved party has three days from the date of notification to lodge an appeal with the Appeals Committee.
