National Circles Council (NCC) of Asante Kotoko have frowned on the statement released by WAFA Supporters Union that their outfit is not supporting the Ghana Football Association (GFA) in its efforts to end hooliganism.

On Monday, the Supporters’ Union of WAFA schooled the Porcupine Warriors on hooliganism ahead of their matchday 8 Ghana Premier League encounter at the Red Bull Arena in Sogakofe.

According to the statement, the supporters of WAFA believe the fans of Asante Kotoko do not support the Ghana FA’s effort to fight violence in football and hence deemed it necessary to issue out the caution.

The Kumasi-based side were slapped with a five home-game ban which got reduced to three due to crowd misconduct during their 1-0 defeat against Berekum Chelsea at the Baba Yara Sports Stadium on matchday 3.

A section of their fans nearly repeated the act during their 2-1 win against rivals Hearts of Oak in Week 6 at the Accra Sports Stadium.

However, the supporters wing of the Red lads have quickly issued a reply claiming otherwise.
