Don’t copy & paste, develop your own model – PSL Manager advises GFA on the autonomous league

The GFA recently announced that they have begun the process of making the Ghana Premier League autonomous.

However, there have been talks that the FA plans to follow the South African model after a delegation including current GHALCA boss Kudjoe Fiano was sent there to go and study the model they use in running their league.

Advising the GFA from replicating the exact model the South Africans use, he told them to develop their own from what they learned from the PLS than to do 'copy and paste for the GPL'.

“Ghana should decide what model is good for them, from the Commercial, Sponsorship, Product points of view. The most popular league in South Africa is the local league, not Manchester United, Chelsea or the English League,”

“We are in a stage where Africans are watching EPL and killing their own league.”

“I hope Ghanaian radio is not about the English Premier League, because here in South Africa all radio stations are about local football, local products, and local talents and we hope to share this lesson with Ghana and learn from Ghana as well,” he told Takoradi based Skyy Power 93.5 FM.
