Club Licensing Board bans Liberty from using Car Reindorf Park for home matches in the Ghana Premier League

The Club Licensing Board (CLB) of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) has announced that they have revoked the license of Liberty Professionals that allows them to use the Dansoman Carl Reindorf Park as their home venue in the ongoing Ghana Premier League season. 

The decision has become necessary due to the bad state of the venue and the club's inability to adhere to the conditions required by the Club Licensing Board.

On Sunday afternoon, three snakes were killed at the match venue when Liberty Professionals played against Accra Hearts of Oak. That drew the attention of the CLB to conduct an inspection today. At the end of the exercise, the body has told Liberty that they will not be allowed to use the venue from henceforth.

Read the full statement from the CLB released by the GFA this evening.

The Club Licensing Board has revoked the License of Liberty Professionals FC for the use of the Carl Reindorf, Dansoman with immediate effect.

This decision was taken at a meeting of the Committee held on Monday, January 20 following the Club’s inability to rectify the infrastructural challenges based on which they were granted a provisional license with conditions, failing which the license shall be withdrawn.

After its inspection on Monday January 20, the Board observed that Liberty Professionals failed to effect the required changes before the deadline given earlier.

Liberty Professionals are therefore advised to contact the Competitions Department of the GFA on the choice of an alternative venue from the list of approved Premier League match venues.

The Club is also advised to reapply for a license to use the Carl Reindorf Park should they correct the defects.
