90 minutes of football not enough to convince fans to fill stadia - Samartex's Paul Anyaba

Published on: 17 March 2023

FC Samartex 1996 Business Development Manager, Paul Anyaba, has said 90 minutes of football is not enough to attract fans to Ghana Premier League venues.

He has therefore called on clubs to make their venues conducive for relation from work stress.

The Ghanaian top flight is experience a dip in fan attendance to league centers recently with even Asante Kotoko and Hearts of Oak suffering the most.

He made this call in an interview with Citi Sports ahead of the team’s game against defending league champion Kumasi Asante Kotoko this weekend in Samreboi.

“We cannot only sell 90 minutes football to our patrons; those who come to pay because people would have to work and at the weekend, they want a place to release stress."

“But they come to the stadium and they have to stand for 90 minutes. Why would they want to go through that hell? So, we need to make our venues more accommodating.”
