GFF imposes lifetime ban on player/fan

This was among the recommendations made following an internal investigation of the incident, which occurred during the Adoni Productions-organised GT Beer ‘Keep Your Five Alive’ Indoor Football Tournament at the National Gymnasium, Mandela Avenue, over the period October 17 – November 9, 2019.

While the matter is engaging the attention of law enforcement, the organiser of Adoni Productions has been requested to assist Mr Squires with a substantial part of his medical bill for treatment for injuries sustained during the assault.

(C) Promoter/Organiser be required to lodge a Security Deposit with the GFF, which can be used to offset any unanticipated expense, inclusive of, but not limited to, contributing to any medical bills for persons injured through the negligence of the Promoter/Organiser in providing the conditions required to guard against such and/or

(D) The Promoter/Organiser shall be required to provide temporary Insurance Coverage for the players and match officials for the period immediately preceding, during, and immediately after play on match day.
