A Ghanaian Division Two side's team bus crashed at Saforo on the way to a league fixture, and seven players are now receiving hospital treatment.
Ghanaian lower-league football is in shock after a bus carrying Division Two side Koforidua City FC crashed at Saforo in the Eastern Region on Sunday, November 1, 2026. At least 11 people are reported injured, and seven players are receiving treatment in hospital.
The team was on its way to a league fixture against Shacor Supper Stars FC. On board were 20 players, three club officials, the driver and his mate. The injured were rushed to Mampong Hospital for urgent medical attention.
The cause of the crash has not been established, and there is no confirmed word yet on how serious the injuries are or how each patient is doing. Clubs and supporters will be hoping for good news in the coming hours.
The accident has put the spotlight back on the safety of teams travelling for domestic league games. Many lower-tier clubs in Ghana struggle with limited budgets and have trouble securing reliable transport for away fixtures, so long road trips are part of the weekly grind.
It is also unclear whether the match against Shacor Supper Stars will be rescheduled. For now, the focus is on the recovery of the players and officials involved.
