The chairman of the MTN FA CUP Committee, Wilson Arthur, says clubs and the media have a responsibility to ensure that they educate fans on their behaviour and actions in the stands when they attend games in the domestic leagues.
Despite witnessing Ghana's biggest football disaster on May 9, 2001, the nation's football hemisphere persists to suffer hooliganism at match venues with the latest being Nsoatreman's attack on Asante Kotoko, resulting in a death of a fan and additionally there was a further tumult just last weekend during a Division One League match between Elmina Sharks and Swedru All Blacks where the centre referee of the match was attacked.
In the aftermath of these actions by fans, clubs have been the ones facing the punishments while the individuals who have been involved have barely faced any stern punishment or being jailed to serve as deterrent.
Requesting more education to the fans, Arther told ChannelOne TV, "We need to educate our fans so we are doing that. If you lose, it is not the end of the world, we also need the media to help in educating our fans.
