Published on: 20 October 2018

Ghana League Clubs Association (GHALCA) President, Kudjoe Fianoo believes local clubs will benefit from the decision of not playing in Africa next year.

No club will represent Ghana at the 2018/19 CAF continental club football namely, Champions League and the Confederation Cup.

This decision was taken during a consultative meeting between the FIFA Normalization Committee and club owners of the Premier League and Division One League clubs at Alisa Hotel in Accra on Friday.

The decision was settled via consensus following stream of bants.

Some owners in the minority suggested that clubs with a strong financial muscle should represent the country in Africa but the majority were of the opinion that clubs partaking in Africa shouldn’t be the priority for now but the main thing is to get the top-flight back.

"It is better we stay out of Africa, prepare very well and take Africa by storm," Fianoo told Oyerepa FM.

"We should not just go and be part of the competition, come back home and count our loses."

Football in the country ended abruptly in the country following the airing of the investigative documentary by ace journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas on corruption in Ghana football.

Medeama Sporting Club who were leading the log sheet showed interest in the CAF Champions League whereas Ashanti Gold was also eyeing the Confederation cup slot but Normalization Committee maintains no team will participate in the competition.
