Ghana Football Association (GFA) Presidential hopeful Kurt Okraku, has proposed special Sports Police Unit to combat hooliganism at match venues that have consistently dented the image of Ghana Football over the years.
“I will liaise with the Ghana Police pecking order to create a special Sports Police Unit that will generally focus on restoring sanity at football centres when there are matches. My administration will also institute the steward system to keep fans in check like it happens in Europe and elsewhere. Basically, we will educate and sensitize fans on the need to comport themselves at the stadium.” he said in an interview on Happy FM’s Anopa Bosuo Sports.
Kurt would battle out with strong football personalities including George Afriyie, Kurt E.S Okraku, Nana Yaw Amponsah, Fred Pappoe, Osei Kweku Palmer, George Ankamah and Amanda Clinton for the vacant position.
The vetting of aspirants for the GFA elections starts September 26 – October 1 while the presidential election is slated for October 25 as the winner will be replacing former capo Kwesi Nyantakyi who was banned from all football-related activities following the airing of the “Number 12” documentary.
