Football in Ghana is treated like a life-or-death event - Medeama coach Ibrahim Tanko

Medeama coach Ibrahim Tanko has urged a shift in mentality in Ghanaian football, criticizing the belief that home teams must always win. .

His call follows the tragic death of Kotoko supporter Francis Nana Yaw Frimpong at Nana Koronmansah Park, prompting discussions on hooliganism between football authorities and the police.

Tanko emphasized that football is just a sport and should not be treated as a life-or-death matter.

He urged clubs to educate supporters and called for stronger security at match venues.

With the Ghana Premier League suspended, stakeholders are focusing on ensuring safety before resumption.

In response, the Ghana Football Association (GFA) has introduced stricter matchday security measures to curb violence and ensure a safer football environment.
