The Professional League Board (PLB), has said that soccer fans who would indulge in any form of hooliganism would be arrested and prosecuted. To this end, uniformed security personnel or those in mufti would be detailed to the stands to detect offenders and make on the spot arrests.

Mr Sylvester Mensah, Chairman of the Professional League Board (PLB) at a press briefing in Accra said the measure is to rid the stadia and fields of crowd violence. He said in order to meet this objective management of all league clubs should ensure that adequate security personnel are provided for their home matches.

The chairman said club chairmen and officials would be expected to show exemplary conduct at all times so that their supporters would emulate them. Mr Mensah said" if for any reason the atmosphere is threatened, club chairmen and other officials would have the responsibility of controlling their supporters."

He said a monitoring and evaluation task force had been set up to monitor and evaluate performances of match officials on weekly basis in order to weed out bad ones from the system, adding that match reports by appointed officials must reach the FA secretariat within 48 hours and officials who fail to do so would face sanctions.

On the premier league, Mr. Mensah said Real Tamale United (RTU) would continue to use the Kaladan Park until rehabilitation work on the Park commences before they shift to the Bolga Park, while Sekondi Hasaacas would also use the Gyandu Park and shift to the Cape Coast Siwdu Park when rehabilitation work begins at Gyandu.
