Former Ghana League Clubs Association (GHALCA) chairman, Kudjoe Fianoo, has expressed concern over the state of Ghanaian football, describing it as being on a downward trend.
Kudjoe Fianoo as part of his achievement as the former Ghalca boss organized training programs for coaches, sports administrators, and other key stakeholders to equip them with the necessary knowledge and skills to fulfill their roles effectively.
Speaking in a recent interview with Citi sports, Fianoo noted that there is little excitement surrounding the local league, and many Ghanaians share the same sentiment.
But I think that every Ghanaian, including myself, is mindful of the fact that our football is on a downward trend. We are not seeing anything that is so fascinating about our league. And I think that that is my personal assessment, and I’m sure a lot of people agree with me.
Fianoo believes that the situation can improve if the right strategies are implemented, and accountability is enforced at all levels of football administration.
It could be. If we put the right strategy in place, people are responsible for their actions. And we don’t look at this before meeting our punishment
His comments come at a time when Ghanaian football is struggling to recapture its former glory, with concerns over league attendance, poor infrastructure, and administrative challenges affecting the growth of the sport.
The Ghana Premier League was overshadowed by a tragic incident at the Nana Konamansah Park, where a football fan was fatally stabbed.
The unfortunate event has cast a shadow over the competition, prompting a temporary halt.
In honor of the late Nana Pooley, a devoted Asante Kotoko supporter who lost his life in the incident, the league will resume on March 6 following his funeral.
Authorities and football stakeholders are expected to take measures to enhance security at match venues to prevent such incidents in the future.
