Accra Hearts of Oak and Kumasi Asante Kotoko have jointly called for immediate improvements in the Ghana Premier League, with a focus on enhanced security measures.
The two clubs came together to present a detailed position paper to the Ghana Football Association (GFA), urging for swift implementation.
The move follows tragic events, including the death of Nana Pooley, a dedicated Kotoko supporter, which underscored the urgent need for improved fan safety.
In a meeting held in Accra, representatives from Kotoko’s Interim Management Committee (IMC) and Hearts of Oak’s Board and Management discussed critical league issues, particularly security at match venues.
The clubs emphasized the necessity of stronger security protocols to prevent further incidents of violence, with recommendations for increased collaboration between the GFA, law enforcement, and other stakeholders.
The statement from both clubs reiterated their commitment to working together to ensure football remains a safe and enjoyable experience for all supporters.
The two clubs are scheduled to meet with the GFA Executive Committee on Thursday, February 6, 2025, to formally present their proposals.
