Akuapem North Member of Parliament, Samuel Awuku, has urged Minister for Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams, to review the presence of drinking spots near stadiums, citing their potential link to hooliganism.
Speaking on the floor of Parliament about the causes of fan violence, the former Director General of the National Lottery Authority highlighted how alcohol consumption before matches often leads to unruly behavior. "One of the issues that concerns me is the location of drinking spots near our stadiums.
Fans are not allowed to bring alcohol into the stadium, but many consume it heavily before entering.
When tensions rise during a game, their judgment is impaired, leading to potential misconduct," Awuku noted.
