Ghana vs. Chad: Pitch invader gets 100-day jail sentence
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) says the individual who invaded the pitch during Ghana’s World Cup qualifier against Chad has been sentenced to 100 days in prison.
Mohammed Huzeinu disrupted the Matchday 5 fixture of the 2026 World Cup qualifiers last Friday by storming the field, and halting play.
His actions could have financial repercussions for the GFA, as the Confederation of African Football (CAF) may impose a fine on the association. Pitch invasions are considered a serious security violation and disrupt the flow of matches.
The sentencing serves as a stern warning to fans about the consequences of breaching stadium regulations.
The GFA has also called on supporters to respect matchday protocols, emphasizing the need for discipline to avoid sanctions and uphold Ghana’s reputation in international football.
