Nsoatreman FC’s coach, Maxwell Konadu, was attacked by Bofoakwa Tano supporters after a Ghana Premier League match last Sunday at Sunyani Coronation Park.
Nsoatreman FC made this revelation on Sunday, November 19, 2023, via their official X handle.
The football team announced that their coach had been attacked, “for picking up a point in a draw game against the home team Bofoakwa Tano.”
