Koforidua City FC bus crash leaves 11 people injured in Eastern Region

Eleven people, including several players and officials from Koforidua City FC, were injured following a road accident in the Eastern Region on November 1, 2026. The team bus was transporting the squad for a scheduled league match against Shacor Supper Stars FC when the incident occurred. Emergency services and local responders were called to the scene to assist the victims, who were subsequently moved to medical facilities for urgent care.

Among those affected, seven players are currently receiving intensive medical treatment for their injuries. The crash occurred while the team was navigating a route in the Eastern Region, a journey intended to lead them to their away fixture. Initial reports indicate that the bus was carrying a full complement of technical staff and athletes, making the scale of the accident particularly significant for the club's operations and the safety of its personnel.

The incident highlights the ongoing challenges and risks associated with road travel for football clubs in Ghana, particularly those playing in lower-tier leagues who often commute long distances for matches. While the specific cause of the accident remains under investigation by local authorities, the immediate focus of the Koforidua City FC management is the health and recovery of their staff and players.

The status of the match against Shacor Supper Stars FC remains uncertain, though it is widely anticipated that the Regional Football Association will postpone the fixture to allow the club time to recover. Fans and members of the football community have begun expressing their support for the injured as they await further updates on the medical condition of those currently hospitalized.
