Vice Chairman of the Ghana League Clubs Association (GHALCA), Mr. George Amoako has given thumbs up to the level of officiating at the current GHALCA G8 tournament ongoing in Kumasi and Cape Coast.
The astute football administrator has been impressive with refereeing in the first round of games and hopes it will continue and translate to the Ghana Premier League.
Refereeing has been a major problem in the country with most of the clubs and football fans expressing dissatisfaction each and every season.
However, with the 2017/18 season set to begin in February, the refereeing at the GHALCA G8 tournament has been top notch according to George Amoako.
”This is the first time we’ve played matches in Ghana without hearing any comments after the game” he told footballmadeinghana.com. “People lose matches and make a lot of comments but this time no comment has been made after the games. We watch the matches and everything was okay.”
”What the organisers have observed from the first round of the matches is that, the quality of the game and performances [have been] good. The clubs played good football [and] we were all happy” with.
”The only problem we had was the patronage. I believe people spent a lot during the holidays and couldn’t get money to watch the games but all put together, the organisation has been very good” he added.
The games in the G8 continues on Wednesday with Accra Hearts of Oak playing Karela United as Dreams engage Kumais Asante Kotoko.
