The individual who invaded the pitch during Ghana’s Group I 2026 FIFA World Cup qualifier against Chad has been sentenced to 100 days in prison, the Ghana Football Association (GFA) has confirmed.
Mohammed Huzeinu disrupted the Matchday 5 fixture last Friday by storming onto the field, temporarily halting play. His actions could result in financial penalties for the GFA, as the Confederation of African Football (CAF) may impose a fine for the security breach.
Pitch invasions are considered a serious violation, as they compromise match security and disrupt gameplay. The sentencing serves as a strong warning to fans about the consequences of breaching stadium regulations.
The GFA has urged supporters to adhere to matchday protocols to avoid potential sanctions and protect Ghana’s reputation in international football.
Meanwhile, the Black Stars continued their strong form in the qualifiers, securing a dominant 3-0 victory over Madagascar on Monday. The win solidified their position at the top of Group I with 15 points, five points clear of second-placed Madagascar.
