The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has accused Asante Kotoko and Debibi United of violating Premier League rules during their first league match.

The two teams are accused of neglecting to release the match's video highlights within the allotted 48 hours.

In the first match of the 2026–2027 Ghana Premier League season, Kotoko and Debibi United drew 2-2, with the newly promoted team gaining a point in their historic top-flight debut.

Yakubu Dogo gave Kotoko the lead, and it looked like they would win, but Debibi United rallied again to tie the score.


However, the GFA has now opened disciplinary proceedings against both clubs over their handling of the match highlights.

“It is alleged that both clubs failed to publish video highlights of the match within 48 hours after the game. The clubs have until Friday, September 11, to respond to the charges,” the GFA said in a statement.

The two clubs are expected to submit their responses before the deadline, after which the appropriate disciplinary process will continue.


Kotoko will now turn their attention to their next league fixture against Heart of Lions, while Debibi United prepare to face Bechem United.
