Following the violence that broke out in the Special Competition game between Berekum Chelsea and Asante Kotoko, President of the Ghana Football Association Normalisation Committee, Dr. Kofi Amoah has strongly condemned the mayhem.
The incident, which occurred on Sunday, saw two Asante Kotoko officials rushed to the hospital for medical attention after sustaining serious injuries.
According to Dr. Amoah, the necessary statues will be followed to punish the culpable parties in the unpleasant events that unfolded on Sunday.
Dr. Amoah, in an interview with local Ghanaian radio, Asempa FM, vehemently condemned the unfortunate incident, insisting violence has no place in football.
He added;
“Violence has no place in Ghana football,” he said. “Let’s all condemn the act of violence in our football.”
I’m appealing to all football loving Ghanaians as the GFA NC President, to help bring an end to the unpleasant happenings in our game.
“We will apply the football statutes to curb these acts. Violence in Ghana football can’t be tolerated against whoever. We aren’t just sitting at the FA, we are working vigorously to bring an end to this.”
This comes few days after Aduana Stars were banned from playing at the Nana Agyeman Badu Park after attacking a referee and some officials of Medeama in their 1-1 draw last Wednesday.
