A statement on GFA's website read that both players "have been suspended indefinitely".
This comes as a shock to the west African nation hoping to make the round of 16 for the second time in their history.
Ghana needs to beat Portugal this evening and hope Germany beats USA to qualify.
Boateng, of Schalke 04 was kicked out for insulting the National team coach Kwesi Appiah in their Maceio training ground.
While AC Milan's Sulley Muntari was thrown out, for what the FA described as "unprovoked physical attack on an executive committee member".
29 year-old Muntari on tuesday allegedly assaulted Moses Armah (member of the team management) and Boateng did not want to apologize for his actions.
Ghana's government had yesterday sent $3m (£1.8m) in a chartered plane to Brazil, to pay the players large appearance fees because the team had threatened to boycott today's crucial game against Portugal.
Muntari was expected not to participation in today's game as he was disqualified after getting his second yellow of the tournament against Portugal.
This new development will definitely make the team's task of qualifying for the next round harder than expected.
