Ashantigold’s attempt to stop the start of the 2022/23 betPawa Premier League with a court action ended in futility. The competition got underway as planned with Accra Great Olympics beating Bechem United 1-0 at the Accra Sports Stadium on Saturday. I know not the path Ashantigold would take as a football club but what’s clear to me is […]
As I spoke with Black Galaxies Coach Annor Walker 24 hours after their 4-0 aggregate victory over Benin (Ghana won 3-0 in first leg), I heard joyful confidence in his voice as he reflected on his team’s attitude, performance and results in the first phase of the 2023 African Nations Championship (CHAN) qualifying matches. Clearing […]
I don’t hide my Asante Kotoko affinity. I’m proud of it. So, it’s often not expected of me to see any good in rival club, Accra Hearts of Oak. Yet, as a Ghana football journalist, it’s necessary that, I applaud what’s progressive, and that which advances development of clubs and Ghana football as a whole. […]
Unless King Faisal’s owner, Alhaji Karim Grunsah’s comment on Asante Kotoko’s 2022/23 season’s jersey, which has a watermark image of the Asantehene, Otumfuo Osei Tutu II, is echoing concerns from the hallowed Manhyia Palace, it should be dismissed. Alhaji Grunsah essentially suggested that, imprinting the club’s owner and life patron’s picture on its jersey amounts […]
I’ve become more interested and passionate about leadership months after enrolling for a master’s degree course in Organisational Leadership and Governance at the University of Ghana Business School. This partly led me to keenly follow the 2022 Africa Women’s Sports Summit (AWSS) in Accra, which among edifying topics, focused on leadership in African sports from women’s perspective. I […]
I’m firm in my conviction that the picture painted out there to Asante Kotoko supporters of which I’m proudly and inseparably one isn’t the exact state of affairs. That’s no news as organisations often have difficult times and what’s required of mangers then is to resolutely confront the difficulties and solve them. It’s also nothing […]
I make concessions. I’m not shy to do that. On hindsight, my tweets right after news of Asante Kotoko coach, Prosper Narteh Ogum’s purported resignation was ill-timed. Fans were shocked and upset. They needed something soothing, something reassuring, not opinions projecting the undercurrents leading to the confusion. I’m very sorry. This is the admittance I […]
“We are of the view that the Disciplinary Committee was right in imposing sanctions…In the circumstance, we dismiss the appeal filed by Ashantigold…” – GFA Appeals Committee, July 13, 2022. We’ve to strengthen the hands of the Ghana Football Association (GFA)’s Disciplinary Committee and the other judicial bodies of the GFA if we’re to […]
It’s difficult to establish whether the apology emanates from the Deputy Ashantigold Chief Executive Officer, Albert Commey, who emphatically said on Sunyani-based Space FM that, some 2021/22 Ghana Premier League (GPL) matches were fixed. Commey advised that we’ve to be truthful and not hypocrites. The apology letter retracting the above comment neither has a name […]
It’s a dying, not a dead Ghana Premier League (GPL) that’s seriously bleeding for deep thinking into its administration. The GPL needs that else it has no real future. And it’s better the bitter truth is accepted so an end is found to the institutionalised corruption in our league. Otherwise, we’ll continue to sink […]
