It’s worrying Ghana Premier League is no more attractive – Yahaya Mohammed

Former Asante Kotoko striker, Yahaya Mohammed has expressed worry over the current state of the Ghana Premier League.

The former Aduana Stars striker is worried that the league which was once attractive, has lost its lustre so much so that it has no sponsors and even proper television coverage.

Yahaya Mohammed, who was speaking to Accra-based Asempa FM, noticed that now the best materials from Ghana will rather play in Rwanda and Ethiopia than Ghana because there are no incentives in the country’s league.

“The GPL at this moment is not attractive. During my days, sponsors were chasing the GFA to sponsor the league, and I remember that Coca-Cola was even interested in sponsoring the GHALCA Top Four tournament.

Today, sponsors are not interested because the Premier League is unattractive. Players are interested in playing in Rwanda and Ethiopia because of the better incentives they will receive, unlike what they will earn by playing in the GPL. The television coverage for the league is not good enough and all these things push away the corporate world to invest and sponsor the Premier League.” He told Asempa FM.
