Owner of Elmina Sharks and renowned politician, Dr. Papa Kwesi Ndoum, says the Ghana Football Association (GFA) must start promoting the league in order to attract sponsors.

According to the business magnate, the Ghana FA must stop the concentration on the Black Stars and start promoting the domestic top-flight championship.

“The Ghana Football Association doesn’t promote the league, the monies that they get from FIFA they must use it to promote the league,” Dr. Ndoum said on Asempa FM.

“It is not all about the national teams, going to FIFA conference and other things. They must promote the local league.

“When Elmina Sharks is about to play a game, from Wednesday we go around promoting the match using radio and TV. Because of that, we do get the numbers at the stadium.

“The Ghana FA must promote the league, players and the teams, and in doing that we can get companies to sponsor the league. Without the numbers at the stadium no company would like to sponsor the league.”

Nduom’s side are currently playing in the Ghana Premier League and they are 7th on the log sheet with 33 points.
