Bankroller of Elmina Sharks, Dr Paa Kwesi Nduom, says the Ghana Football Association (GFA) should take responsibility for the recent hooliganism acts in the country's sport.
Three weeks into February, there have been acts of hooliganism across Ghana's top two men's competitions; the Ghana Premier League and the Division One League, the former leading to the death of one fan in Nsoatre.
On the same day when a one-week celebration was held for Nana Pooley, acts of hooliganism ensued again on the local scene in a game between Elmina Sharks and Swedru All Blacks.
All Blacks won the game 1-0, but it was the chaotic scenes after referee Eso Doh Morrison’s final whistle that stole the headlines.
Players and officials of Elmina Sharks attacked the referee and other match officials over the penalty call which resulted in the away side picking up all three points.
Speaking on GTV Sports+, Dr Nduom shied away from taking responsibility for the conduct of his team members.
"Some people take certain portions of a video and say the fans in Elmina are hooligans when they don't understand what happened. Don't take a clip and say, Shouldn't someone take responsibility?," he quizzed.
"It is the GFA. They take responsibility. They must make everybody safe. They must make the games entertaining; they must pay the referees appropriately and pay everybody well, not just take FIFA money and go and rest somewhere."
For the first time, the Ghana Football Association’s newly enhanced matchday and security protocols were enforced during this week's Division One League games.
