Jay Asamoah Kola, a midfielder with the Elmina Sharks, might be banned for two to five years for acting violently toward a referee during a league game in Ghana.
As far as GHANAsoccernet.com is aware, the Football Association will punish the player severely for defaming the sport.
After his team's 1-0 loss to the in-form Zone Three leaders Swedru All Blacks at home in the nation's second-tier league, Asamoah Kola, who was limited to the substitution bench, recklessly attacked the center referee.
As attacks on those attempting to enforce the game's rules increase, video footage shows an angry football player hurling missiles at the referee. Violence against match officials is becoming a bigger issue in Ghanaian football.
According to GHANAsoccernet.com Headquarters, the midfield player should prepare for a protracted absence from the field as the Football Association plans to punish him severely as a deterrent.
Concerns have been raised by the occurrence, and there are increasing calls for the player to face harsher penalties.
The match official would have been on the ground following the football player's heavy strike if it weren't for Eso Doh Morrison's powerful gravity.
The club has until Tuesday, February 18, 2025, to address the claim of failing to maintain control over its players and supporters.
Although the referee's decision infuriated the home crowd, video shows that the match official made a well-considered penalty.
Following the unfortunate stabbing death of Asante Kotoko supporter Nana Yaw Frimpong, also known as "Pooley," in Nsoatre, which resulted in the Ghana Premier League's suspension and the implementation of additional matchday security measures, the event occurs at a time when Ghanaian football is under scrutiny.
In an attempt to bring safety and discipline back to the domestic league, the Ghana Football Association (GFA) is anticipated to adopt a strong position on the issue.
