Referees Manager Alex Kotey advocates for expanded live tv coverage to improve officiating

The top-tier Ghana Premier league competition has come under fire for controversial decisions throughout the recently concluded season, particularly regarding the awarding of goals and refereeing calls on the final day.

These incidents have led to accusations of match-fixing.

Referees manager Alex Kotey acknowledged the limitations in broadcasting capacity but called for its expansion.

“I wish all our matches could be televised live because when there is a live match, the attention and focus is on you [referee],” he told Asempa FM.

“You will also be more cautious about making errors. However, this depends on the sponsors, who currently believe they can only broadcast around four matches. Expanding coverage would be beneficial.”

StarTimes, the exclusive rights holder since a $5.25 million agreement in 2020, is rumored to have terminated the deal. Consequently, the Ghana Football Association is seeking a new broadcasting partner.
