Our local league which is the Ghana Premier league has
remained one of the most exciting if not the best event so far as
football in the country is consend.Although there are several other
organized football event such as the FA cup,SWAG CUP as well as the
president cup,but the premier league has to me will always remain the
most exciting football event on the Ghanaian soccer calander.To most
Ghanaian soccer loing fans,the premier league is usually what keep them
company especially when the seior national team the black stars are not
in action.The Premier league as we now has furthermore produced a very
larg e number of talents for our various ational teams,thus the black
stars,black meteos,black starlets and the black satellites.This has
furthermore contributed to the success of these various nationa teams in
the last decades.Just to draw our inds back a little bit,the 1991 an
1995 squad that won fifa under 17 world cup mainly consisted of locally
based players who played in our local league.
To hit the nill on the head,i will say our local league is
fast away drowning in cold waters as it has ost it attractive nature
that it used to have way back.It almost seems the Ghna premier league is
not being followed by the soccer loving public as t used to be.Gone are
the days when you will always see soccer loving fans troop to the
stadias to watch their various teams play.I remember the atmosphere in
the country whenever the titanic clash between the two most glamous
clubs in Ghana is about to take place.You will always see fans fans of
both clubs flags and paraphilanias of their respective clubs alon the
road side,with cars decorated with flags.It really saddens my heart i no
longer see all these nowadays.
Not to compare our league to that pf the foreign leagues,but
i keep o asking myself this question.Why is it that most socer loving
fans turn to remain glued to their tv sets to watch games in the
EPL,Spanish laliga,Italian seriaA etc?especially on sunday afternoons
when the ca make their way to the various stadi's in the country to
watch the local league.One will rather prefer to watch a matc between
Stoke City and Fulham than to go to the stadium to watch a game between
Amidaus and Liberty proff.Is our league lacking talents?all these
questions ring in my ears whenever i sit to think about what really is
wrong.
All these i think is lack of publicity on our league.The rate
at which our league is publicized is vey low that even our league is
not well recognised across the globe.This is where the influence of our
media counts.Ghana has a huge reputatio in football and for our league
to be ranked 11th in africa and 65th in the world i think does not speak
really well about Ghana football.It is very unfortunate that after 5
league games we still dont have a title sponsor for this years
league.Thanks to supersports for accepting to take the rights to cover
some of the league games.this i think will help sell our league better.
God Save Ghana football.
