The Ghana Football Association (GFA) have this morning, released a long statement to seriously castigate series of misconducts that occurred this weekend in some match centers when Ghana Premier League match-day 6 was in session.
Three venues witnessed some level of hooliganism from supporters who somehow disagreed with referee's decisions and decided to take matters into their own hands and caused some trouble who seriously tarnishes the image of the Ghanaian game.
At the Dr. Kwame Kyei Sports Complex, some irate Kotoko fans broke and removed seats and threw them on the pitch and threw waters at the referee's after a late penalty was awarded to Nations FC who salvaged a 2-2 draw against the giants over the weekend.
Newly-promoted side Bofoakwa Tano FC were also lucky to have escaped a serious attack from some fans after their drawn game with Karela United last Sunday in Tamale thanks to Police intervention.
Also in Dormaa, supporters of Aduana Stars also to have hurled objects across the pitch in the course of their 3-1 win over Great Olympics over the weekend.
With this, the GFA have come out with a message and strongly condemned the act of tbe supporters and added any of such subsequently won't be tolerated since miscreants won't be forgiven and will be made to face the law.
The statement reads; "The Ghana Football Association (GFA) strongly condemns acts of violence and misconduct that occurred at some match venues during the Premier League Matchday 6 games."
