Mohammed Huzeinu, a 21-year-old individual, has been handed a 100-day prison sentence by an Accra District Court after invading the pitch during Ghana’s match against Chad at the Accra Sports Stadium on March 21, 2022.
Huzeinu’s unauthorised entry disrupted the game, an offence that carries potential financial repercussions for the Ghana Football Association (GFA), as such incidents often result in fines from governing bodies.
Pitch invasions are regarded as a major security breach and undermine the orderly conduct of sporting events.

The court’s ruling sends a clear message to spectators about the consequences of violating stadium regulations and emphasises the need for proper conduct during matches.
The GFA has repeatedly advised fans against such behaviour, stressing the importance of discipline and compliance with matchday protocols to prevent sanctions and uphold Ghana’s standing in international football.
