Also, she emphasized on the tragic incident that happened at Nsoatre in the matchday 19 game between Nsoatreman FC and Asante Kotoko, which led to the death of a fan.

Amoh expressed her condolences to the family of the deceased and called for improvements in stadium safety measures.
“Hopefully, we will rise from this incident and ensure that the right things are done to protect our stadiums and prevent such cases in the future,” she said.
