#FillGPLCenters: Stop Running Traditional Clubs Only On Social Media – Ignatius Osei-Fosu

#FillGPLCenters: Stop Running Traditional Clubs Only On Social Media – Ignatius Osei-Fosu

Dreams FC head coach, Ignatius Osei-Fosu, is imploring Ghanaian clubs to use traditional radio and TV platforms as a means to promote local fixtures in the Ghana Premier League. He believes, the over-reliance on social media by Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko, especially in promoting matches has contributed to the low turnout at the various stadia in recent times. Ghana’s top-flight league, the GPL, has been hit with low turnout at match venues in recent times, a development that is rendering the local clubs financially handicapped. Luv FM and Nhyira FM have embarked on a radio campaign to highlight…

Kotoko In Africa: When Does The Embarrassment Stop?

Kotoko In Africa: When Does The Embarrassment Stop?

Asante Kotoko have, once again, been shoved out of Africa when the odds were hugely in their favour. Having won 1-0 in Benin against Burkinabe side RC Kadiogo in the first leg of their 2022/23 CAF Champions League preliminary qualifying tie, it was deemed pretty routine that the Porcupine Warriors would finish the job in Kumasi, in front of their own fans, only needing to avoid defeat to do so. But they conceded in the 15th minute and never found a way back, eventually losing the ensuing penalty shootout 3-1. Anyone with institutional memory of this club’s lot in continental…
