What are you really winning? What is at stake? We are struggling to get sponsorship for the Ghana Premier League, and this is what we get. No brand will want to associate itself with such negativity, he stated.The Minister also raised concerns about stadium security and emergency response systems. Where was the ambulance? Where were the medics? Were they close enough to offer specialized first aid? These are questions we must answer, he said.Adams commended the police for their swift response and emphasized the need for a comprehensive review of stadium security and football governance. He warned that without urgent reforms, Ghanaian football risks losing its appeal to sponsors and fans alike.The Ghana Football Association has taken swift action, suspending six Nsoatreman FC players for misconduct and unsporting behavior.The Ghana Police Service has also arrested three individuals in connection with the violence.
