The Chairman of the Division One League Board, Mr. Owoahene Acheampong has revealed that his outfit have put in place measures to curb hooliganism in Ghana’s second-tier league.

The 2015/2016 GN Bank Division One League has been marred with continues acts of crowd violence with the recent incident involving fans of Tarkwa United and Karela FC on Sunday July 10.

Many lovers of the football have blamed the Ghana Football Association and for that matter, the Division One League Board for not doing enough to stop hooliganism.

But addressing the issues on an Accra based radio station, Class FM, Mr. Owuahene Acheampong, the DOLB boss minced no words in describing what his outfit are doing to deter supporters from engaging in violent conduct.

“We have put in place measures. Obviously, you know there are cameras all over the place and we are also trying to get those who infringe on the laws or beat up people prosecuted,” Mr Acheampong said.

Hooliganism has been on the rise in Ghana’s second tier league this season with several match venues closed down due to security reasons.

Away Team’s have continues suffered physical attacks from home fans and referees who make certain decisions that do not sit well with clubs are mostly attacked and brutally injured.

These constant acts prompted the GN Bank to suspend its sponsorship of the league on June 1, 2016 informing the Division One League Board that until measures were put in place to forestall any such acts in future, the bank would have no choice but to pull out completely.
