Henry .A. Salifu, a player of Istanbul FC has been charged on two counts in relation to their MTN FA Cup Round of 16 match against Aduana Stars.

The player is charged on a first count for failing to control himself after he had been shown a red card and that instead of leaving the field of play, he rather he stamped on the head of Derick Sasraku (a player of Aduana Stars FC) who was then on the ground in violation of the stipulations of the GFA Regulations.

He has also been charged for failing to control himself after he had been shown a red card and that instead of leaving the field of play, he rather approached match referee and assaulted the referee Patrick Kyeremateng in violation of the stipulations of the GFA Regulations.

Salifu has therefore been charged with misconduct and violence or a breach of Articles 35(7)(d) and 39(7) of the GFA General Regulations on both counts in respect of this match.

He is therefore to submit a written Statement of Defence to the charge(s) on or before Thursday, June 4, 2015 on or before 5pm at the GFA Secretariat or through email address to the Disciplinary Committee, dc@ghanafa.org failing which the Disciplinary Committee shall proceed to adjudicate the case without his Statement of Defence.

Should he choose Defence Options 3 (Personal Hearing) in the Statement of Defence, the Disciplinary Committee shall through his email or the GFA website inform him on when to attend its hearing at the GFA Secretariat to answer to the charge(s), failure which the Disciplinary Committee shall proceed to adjudicate the case in his absence.
