The Sports Writers Association of Ghana has condemned the attack on some sports journalists during the Super Clash between Glorious Accra Hearts of Oak and Kumasi Asante Kotoko at the Accra Sports Stadium on Sunday.
SWAG is also calling on the leadership of the FA in conjunction with the other organisers of
the said match to investigate the incident and bring the perpetrators to book.
More importantly, SWAG hopes that the issue of accreditation of Sports Journalists to such
decency and the safety of journalists who attend these matches to fulfil their professional
high-profiled events and even less fancied matches would be sanitized to ensure some
obligations.
The association led by Mr. Kwabena Yeboah commended both clubs for demonstrating a good game to the sports fraternity in the world but remind the two
leading clubs that the safety of the media who project these works should be paramount and
must be protected.
SWAG stated through a Press Release signed by Kwabena Yeboah, the president of the association.
