2021 Ghana Premier League: GFA agrees for clubs to record games

Published on: 24 November 2020

The Ghana Football Association has agreed to allow all Premier League Clubs record their league matches after a meeting on Monday.

The meeting, held via video call, had Chief Executive Officers of clubs participating.

According to reports, there was a unanimous voice from the clubs as they kicked against the directive of the FA barring them from videotaping matches for non-commercial use.

The directive led to a hard-hitting response from Asante Kotoko, who described the move of the GFA as “absurd, primitive and backward.”

The position of Kotoko was initially backed by seven clubs, but it appears they had more support on Monday as all the others showed solidarity with the record Ghana league champions.

Asante Kotoko also demanded a copy of the contract between the GFA and StarTimes, but that was not made available to members.

According to Joy Sports, the Clubs will formally petition GFA for a copy of the contract after the FA failed to show signs of willingness to avail a copy to members at the meeting.

Medeama SC is believed to be a notable club backing the demand for the contract.
