President of the Ghana Football Association, Kurt Okraku has broken his silence on the poor stadium attendance in the ongoing Ghana Premier League campaign.
The Ghana Premier League has been hit with poor stadium attendance in recent weeks.
The low patronage of the domestic top-flight has become a major concern for stakeholders, with some blaming the media for the low attendance at stadium.
Reacting to the low turnouts at various match centres, the Ghana FA boss entreated club owners to up their game in order to attract fans to the stadium.
“Our fans are absent, our spectators are absent, we playing football, we doing the business of football bout our fans are not consuming our football. It should be a concern to every club owner that your fans are far away from your clubs and this is not the responsibility of the FA, it’s your responsibility”
“There are other competing entertainment opportunities for every person and if you are not practical, proactive and don’t put up strategies that will bring back your fans, believe me, your fans will not come. We need to be pragmatic, scientific and we need to go back to the basics on how to win the twelve man back into our football”
“Usually, it’s very normal for everybody to point fingers at Ghana FA but it’s a lie, it’s your time to do some work, it’s your time as club owners and executives to listen to your fans, go to your fans, find their worries and wore them back and this is a challenge I throw to each one of us. We love our football; we want more money in football but we can’t be sleeping. We have to think about how to win the supporters back to the stadium” he stated.
