Accra Lions FC has expressed deep concern about the deteriorating state of football in Ghana, emphasizing key challenges that threaten the sport’s future.
Describing the current situation as a critical juncture, the club has called for immediate reforms to revive professionalism, transparency, and sportsmanship in the domestic game.
Their concerns focus on what they view as worsening conditions in the Ghana Premier League, which they argue reflect broader struggles within Ghanaian football.
In a strongly worded statement, Accra Lions criticized the lack of a title sponsor and the absence of a television rights deal for the league, highlighting how these issues are damaging its credibility and marketability.
The club also linked the sponsorship challenges to inconsistent refereeing standards, cautioning that these problems are making the league less appealing to potential partners.
Furthermore, the club took aim at the Ghana Football Association (GFA), accusing it of neglecting critical issues that have raised more questions than answers. They warned that this lack of accountability is eroding public trust and discouraging fan engagement—a trend they described as deeply troubling for the sport’s future.
Accra Lions connected these domestic challenges to Ghana’s declining performance on the international stage, suggesting that the league’s shortcomings hinder the development of young players and their ability to compete globally.
Reaffirming their commitment to fair play and sustainable growth, the club pledged to work with like-minded stakeholders to push for meaningful change in Ghana football.
