Following the postponed match against Nations FC, Basake Holy Stars seek points.
Following the cancellation of their Ghana Premier League match against Nations FC, Basake Holy Stars have formally written to the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to request three points and three goals.
When Nations FC left the field during the league season’s penultimate match, it became a contentious event. The GFA claims that the issue is being looked into.

When tempers rose, Holy Stars had been handed a second penalty and were ahead by one goal. They had also scored from the penalty spot. After a brawl broke out on the field, security officers intervened, and Nations FC left the game.
Nations FC released a strong-worded statement accusing abuse later on Sunday.
The club claimed their chairman, Dr Kwame Kyei, was assaulted, fans were intimidated, officiating was substandard, and security was inadequate.
Since then, the team has threatened to leave the league, and Dr. Kyei has apologized in public for his investment in Ghanaian football. An already challenging season tainted by controversy—including the stabbing of Kotoko fan Nana Pooley earlier, which resulted in a league-wide temporary suspension—is made worse by this tragedy.
The unrest persisted even after changes were made in the wake of that incident, and Nsoatreman ultimately decided to leave the competition. It looks like Nations FC is about to follow suit.
Meanwhile, Basake Holy Stars are vying for the points, which could have a big effect on the race for the championship. A victory would have improved the chances for Nations FC, who are vying for their first Premier League title.
However, their decision to abandon the match makes it more likely that the points could be awarded to Holy Stars, or a replay could be ordered.
Nations FC and second-placed Bibiani Gold Stars are currently level on points heading into the final matchday. The GFA is expected to deliver a verdict on the incident in the coming days.
