National Sports Council
assures of maximum security for Stars-Azingos game
Accra, June 18, Ghanadot/GNA – The National Sports Council (NSC)
has assured football fans of maximum security during
Sunday’s 2010 World Cup/Africa Cup of Nations qualifier
between Ghana’s Black Stars and the Azingo National of Gabon
scheduled for the Ohene Djan Stadium, Accra.
As a result security cameras have been installed at the
stadium to track down persons whose conduct is likely to mar
the game.
Charles James Aryeh, Chief Administrative Officer of NSC in
a statement copied to the GNA Sports said his outfit has
beefed up security and will arrest all persons who will
attempt to disrupt the game.
He also warned that no organized supporters group will be
allowed free entry into the stadium and advised any such
groups to discuss their programmes with the Council at least
forty-eight hours to the game.
The Chief Administrative Officer emphasized that access to
the Presidential and VVIP Lounge will strictly be by
invitation, adding that beneficiaries of complimentary cards
must endeavour to collect such cards and present it at the
entry points for easy access to the respective areas.
Aryeh disclosed that special car passes have also been
issued for parking of vehicles at the parking lots in the
stadium during the crucial Group Five clash.
“Car Park A is within the Sports Hall and main block, Car
Park B is between the former Post Office and the Sports Hall
with Car Park C being the former swimming pool area.”
On tickets for the match, Mr Aryeh said tickets have also
been printed in the colours of the various areas/zones of
Grey for the VIP (Lower and Upper), Orange and Blue for the
areas behind the two goal posts while the Centre Line area
(formerly Osu Stand) has a Green colour.
Mr Aryeh said the Council has also observed with concern
that during high profile matches, all shades of persons
surface at the stadium portraying themselves as
representatives of agencies sponsoring the said event.
He said notice is therefore been served to the general
public that only those who are authorized by the National
Sports Council would be allowed to operate inside the
stadium premises during such events.
He appealed to fans to adhere to the directives to ensure a
successful match.
The Stars lost 0-2 to their Gabonese counterparts in the
first leg in Libreville last week.
