The Ghana Football Association Executive Committee members inspected the Robert Mensah Stadium during a working visit in Cape Coast on Saturday.

The stadium has been temporarily excluded from hosting GFA-organised matches after some fans vandalised the security barriers and attacked referees.

Referee Patrick Kyeremanteng and his two assistants George Seidja and Augustine Akugri were beaten up during a recent Glo Premier League game between home side Dwarfs and Aduana Stars.

Central Region FA boss John Doe and Dwarfs officials joined Ghana FA chief Kwesi Nyantakyi and his executives to inspect the damage done to the barriers while narrating how the referees were attacked.

Nyantakyi told the fans to avoid hooliganism to ensure that one of the top clubs in Ghana will continue to grow.

"We must quickly put in place measures to stop some of these things from happening and the large part of it comes from us the club administrator," Nyantakyi said.

"We can fix the stadium but if the mentality of the fans is the same then no progress has been made. I think we should intensify our work by educating the fans."

According to Article 15.2 of the Ghana Football Association rules and regulations, a league venue can be suspended from hosting GFA-organised matches over security concerns.
