Positive lessons from the Hearts-Kotoko match

The 2015/2016 Premier League season has entered an interesting and exciting period with the Match Day 10 encounter between old-time rivals, Accra Hearts of Oak and Kumasi Asante Kotoko at the Accra Sports Stadium last Monday. Any technical observer at the stadium would certainly conclude that a lot of efforts went into the pre-match arrangements. 

The GFA/PLB  itself held at least two stakeholders meetings to ensure that matters dealing with security, medical, match attendance, publicity and general arrangements were thoroughly discussed and taken care of. This is in strict conformity with the Government White Paper on the famous Okudzeto Report which recommended that anytime the two teams were to play against each other, the organisers should follow certain guidelines and protocols, including the holding of stakeholders meetings.
