Ghana Football Association (GFA) President Kurt Okraku has expressed optimism about the decline of hooliganism in Ghanaian football, following the tragic stabbing of Kotoko fan Nana Pooley earlier this year.
The incident, which led to the suspension of the league, sparked widespread discussions on the issue of violence in the sport.
Speaking on Original FM, Okraku, who was recently appointed CAF Second Vice President, stated, “Hooliganism has gone down in our football space. All key stakeholders have a role to play. We keep our football ecosystem cleaner and tidier than before. The FA, working with all stakeholders, is doing much better than before. I will encourage the Police Service to keep up their work.”
The GFA has introduced several reforms aimed at improving matchday security and ensuring the safety of players, officials, and fans.
Okraku acknowledged the role of the police and other stakeholders in maintaining peace and pledged to continue working towards a safer football environment in Ghana.
