The organizing body for the second-tier league in Ghana have made suggestions about sending military men to various match venues in attempt to curb hooliganism in the competition.
The board held a meeting on Monday, March 29 and made some proposals to the Executive council of the FA to be implemented as soon as possible in order to end or reduce violence at our league centres especially in Zone 1.
Board member, Mr. Tophic Kadir Seinu in an exclusive interview with Kumasi 104.1 FM revealed some of the proposals they have made to the FA.
“First of all, we have proposed that instead of Policemen at our league, it should be military officials. Because people fear the Military more than the Police.”
According to him, hooliganism in football in the country is because of how desperate clubs are to secure all three points anytime they play at home.
“Clubs put up all this violent behavior just because of 3 points. Therefore we have proposed points deduction as punishment and extra 3 points from their accumulated points already, when that happens managers of such clubs will enforce discipline at their centres henceforth.”
“Lastly, we want to meet all the 64 referees in the division one league and their managers”, he concluded.
