Sportsnetgh.com can confirm that players of Asante Kotoko departed the stadium in a police ambulance rather than the team’s official bus following a dramatic and tension-filled evening at the venue.
The unexpected development came after an emotionally charged atmosphere both on and off the pitch, with security concerns reportedly influencing the decision to move the players discreetly away from the stadium premises without attracting the attention of supporters gathered outside.
Eyewitnesses indicated that the situation around the stadium became increasingly tense after the final whistle, prompting security personnel to take extra precautionary measures to ensure the safety of the players and technical staff. Instead of boarding the club’s branded team bus as usual, members of the squad were quietly escorted into a police ambulance under heavy security presence before leaving the area.
The unusual exit strategy immediately sparked reactions among fans and football observers, many of whom were left surprised after learning of the covert departure hours later. While the full details behind the decision remain unclear, sources close to the situation suggest officials acted swiftly to avoid any potential confrontation or disturbance.
Incidents involving crowd unrest and heightened emotions have become a growing concern in Ghanaian football in recent seasons, leading clubs and security authorities to adopt stricter safety measures during high-profile fixtures.
Neither Ghana Police Service nor Asante Kotoko had officially commented on the incident at the time of publication.
