Former Great Olympics player, Korley Laryea, believes giving Ghana Premier League players opportunity to play for the Black Stars to attract fans to the stadia.
The local league has struggled to attract fans for the past three seasons now, and many have attributed it to reduction in quality in the league but Laryea does not agree.
Despite this happening for three seasons now, there’s still no solution in sight, but Laryea handing Black Stars call-ups to local players as the remedy.
“It’s not down, but my advice is they have to use the local players to join the national team,” he said as quoted by Citi Sports.
"Names also add in football. When Hearts are playing Kotoko and have about two players in the national team, it will bring the crowd to come and watch the match.”
“If Kotoko has about two or three players in the national team, Bofoakwa as well, they call supporters from home to come and watch the matches. Our local players are also good.
“My advice is they should use the local players in the national team to bring supporters to whip up interest for supporters to come and watch their games.”
