Hearts, Kotoko have a head start in autonomous league arrangements- Dr. Baah-Nuakoh

Chairman of the Club Licensing Board, Dr. Kwame Baah-Nuakoh, says clubs are interested in signing on to compete in the autonomous league.

He said this in an exclusive interview with Citi Sports as preparations are on course to host the maiden board meeting on July 21.

Dr. Baah-Nuakoh added rivals, Accra Hearts of Oak Sporting Club and Kumasi Asante Kotoko, have taken pole position in affairs connected to the new league format that is expected to commence in the 2024-2025 season.

“It’s been rolled out, once you register the company and members have started paying up, the two big clubs, Kotoko and Hearts of Oak have shown leadership, they’ve signed up already meaning that they are now members, shareholders of the company.

At the first board meeting…they would take the decisions on behalf of those who will pay later. So we are setting it in motion, it’s not waiting for anybody. When the other members realize that Kotoko and Hearts have already started taking decisions on their behalf, they will come on board.”

The autonomous league has been mooted as a way out of financial malaise for Ghanaian football clubs.
