Communications Director of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Henry Asante Twum, has added his voice to the poor stadium attendance in recent weeks.
There have been low turnout recorded at some stadia over the weekend in the Ghana Premier League.
In an interview with Accra-based Asempa FM, the FA mouthpiece admitted officiating has contributed to the low patronage of the Ghana Premier League at various centres.
“If I say officiating is not part of the poor attendance challenges then I’m telling lies. It’s a major issue. The history of the game with Anas Number 12 exposé is still in the minds of people. That is also one of the problems”.
“Referees in Ghana have one of the best capacity building programmes. At the end of the season we take referees and assistants through capacity building programmes. They are made to watch all the matches to identify the errors and the solutions”
“One thing that is also holding our game back is the poor nature of pitches” Asante Twum empasised.
