Hearts of Oak midfielder Mohammed Hussein has publicly apologised for his behaviour towards referee Reginald Collins Amoah following his side’s 1–0 loss to Asante Kotoko at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday.
In a statement released on Facebook, Hussein admitted that his actions after the final whistle were inappropriate and took full responsibility for his conduct. He extended his apology to the Ghana Football Association (GFA), the referee, his teammates, and the club’s fans.
“With a heavy heart, I sincerely apologise to the GFA, the referee, my teammates, our cherished supporters, and the wider football community. What happened after the final whistle was unacceptable, and I take full responsibility for my behaviour,” he wrote.
Hussein explained that his frustration during the match led to the regrettable incident, admitting that he allowed his emotions to take control instead of maintaining composure.
“Instead of showing restraint and respect, I reacted wrongly and I regret it deeply,” he added.
The midfielder expressed his determination to learn from the experience and uphold the highest standards of professionalism both on and off the pitch.
“I am committed to making amends and proving, through my conduct going forward, that I have learned from this mistake,” Hussein concluded.
His apology comes amid growing calls for discipline and respect towards referees in the Ghana Premier League, as the GFA continues efforts to promote fair play and integrity in domestic football.
