Kotoko Chief Executive wants Ghana Premier League to be run by an independent body

Published on: 20 September 2018

Asante Kotoko chief executive George Amoako is advocating for an independent body to run the Ghana Premier League.

According to him, this move if taken will bring massive improvement to the game in the country.

He believes this is the only way to make the Ghana top-flight wrestle with other advanced leagues on the continent.

"The league should be run by an independent, autonomous body. You can even outsource it. A sub-committee of the football association running the league is outmoded." he told Asempa FM.

A number of wide reaching reforms for football has been activated after FIFA announced a four-member Normalisation Committee last week.

The move became necessary after the world governing body disbanded the Executive Committee in the wake of an investigative piece by controversial journalist Anas Aremeyaw Anas revealed widespread corruption in the game in the West African nation.
