Vision FC head coach Nana Agyemang has expressed his condolences to the family of Francis Frimpong ‘Pooley’ and hopes such an incident will never happen in Ghana football.

Hooliganism acts in Nsoatre led to the stabbing of Asante Kotoko fan Pooley in a Ghana Premier League game between Nsoatreman and Kotoko on matchday 19.

This tragic incident led to the Ghana Football Association suspending the League. According to the FA, the move was aimed at creating space for the GFA to engage with relevant stakeholders and discuss the ramifications of the violence.

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) and the Ghana Police Service have begun developing new Sports Safety and Security training modules to be incorporated into the training curriculum for new police recruits.

Nana Agyeman expressed his condolences to ‘pooleys’ family and condemned hooliganism.

"First and foremost, let me take a second to say what happened in the League. It wasn't good for football, for Ghana Football actually," he said.

"I wish Pooley's family my deepest condolences and may his soul rest in peace. Whether a fan or a player, no family has to grieve over going to watch football.

"So I am hoping something like this will never happen in Ghana football. We are now building a culture in Ghana football so that we will be able to do away with this.

"May 9th happened and this has also happened, so I am hoping in our lifetime that we never see anything like this so that Ghana football can take a better place in the world as a whole."

As steps are taken to ensure safety in our game, the GFA Club Licensing Department have deemed these match centres unfit for the resumption of the league.

The Baba Yara Stadium, home of Asante Kotoko, and the Legon Stadium, which serves as a temporary ground for Hearts of Oak and Legon Cities, must address their safety zone before their next official match.
