Black Stars coach Otto Addo has commended the progress of the Ghana Premier League, noting its development compared to previous seasons.
Addo attended Medeama’s 1-0 win over Legon Cities at the University of Ghana Stadium on Saturday, September 14, 2024, and was impressed by the performance.
Speaking to reporters after the match, Addo said, “This is my first season observing the league closely. At the end of the last season, I watched some videos; it was generally okay.”
He added, “I think it’s picking up, becoming more interesting, and we need to see how it evolves. It’s still early to make a full assessment. Let’s watch the season and see how the players perform. Overall, the performance is improving. Compared to two years ago, it has gotten better.”
In the recent squad for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, Addo included only one local player – Kotoko’s goalkeeper Fredrick Asare.
However, he is expected to call up more home-based players for next month’s crucial games against Sudan, indicating his growing interest in the local league.
Addo’s involvement is a positive sign for the Ghana Premier League as he continues to scout talent and integrate local players into the national team.
