{Full Text}: See the GFA’s “Enhanced” Matchday Safety and Security Protocols

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has developed what it calls an “enhanced” matchday safety and security protocol after a series of engagements with stakeholders.

It comes after a Kotoko football fan was killed at Nsoatre in the Bono Region on February 2 during a football game.

According to the FA, the Protocols ensure that the basic minimum standard acceptable by the GFA is established as it relates to the organisation of competitions and matches.

It is also aimed at defining the safety and security responsibilities of Match Organisers, officials and all participants before, during, and after a match.

As part of the protocols, each Club shall appoint a Club Safety and Security Officer (CSSO) to be responsible for their club’s safety and security matters on matchdays while Ghana Police Service shall appoint in each Region of Ghana, a Regional Sports Security Officer (RSSO) and Matchday Security Coordinator (MSC) who shall be the Police Commander in charge of the safety and security of the match.

These protocols apply to all competitions organized by or for the Ghana Football Association (GFA) at all levels.
