Spokesperson of the Ghana Football Association, Henry Asante Twum
The spokesperson of the Ghana Football Association, Henry Asante Twum, has offered an update on the future of the Ghana Premier League, indicating uncertainty over the country’s flagship club football competition.
Henry Asante Twum told Max FM that the Executive Council of the GFA has still yet to decide on the resumption of the Ghana Premier League following the indefinite suspension.
He indicated other competitions of the GFA will proceed as there has not been any major incident recorded.
Henry Asante Twum also reminded Ghanaians that the GFA are operating with a calendar and that it is imperative that they follow the calendar.
“Well, at this point, the other competitions have not recorded any incident. Nothing has happened in the other leagues. And then also, you don’t have to forget there’s always the calendar to follow,” he said.
On the future of the Ghana Premier League, Henry Asante Twum stated that the competition will resume when all parties involved are satisfied with the situation.
“When the executives met, they decided if there’s an issue with the Premier [League], which indeed is our premium competition, then let’s hold on until things are put in place. So that when all the various areas and concerns have been exhausted,” he said.
The Ghana Premier League was suspended following clashes between players, officials, and fans of Nsoatreman FC and Asante Kotoko during a match at the Nana Konamansah Park in Nsoatreman on Sunday, February 2, 2025.
The commotion claimed the life of a popular Asante Kotoko fan known as Pooley.
Multiple reports indicate that Pooley, whose real name is Francis Frimpong, was stabbed multiple times by fans during the clash.
The Ghana Police Service has so far made three arrests, including a former Member of Parliament for Sunyani West.
