Former President, John Dramani Mahama has urged the Ghana Football Association to raise the standard of the Ghana Premier League.
Mahama made the passionate appeal when a high powered entourage from the county’s football governing body led by President Kurt Okraku paid him a courtesy visit at his residence in Cantonments.
He commended the FA for its efforts but encouraged them to do more to ramp up interest in the top flight division.
“We know that under this administration, the GFA has brought some more vitality into our football and we are all supporting this administration to make sure we move football to the next level,” he said as quoted by ghanafa.org.
“I know there are challenges in the domestic League because our people are more interested in the foreign League and so people don’t come to the stadium as they should but it is normally a good family entertainment, but we need to raise the standard so people will love to come to the stadium.”
The Ghana Premier League will resume this weekend after a four-week suspension due to AshantiGold’s injunction.
