It’s not the responsibility of the FA – Kurt Okraku on poor stadium attendance

President of the Ghana Football Association, Kurt Okraku, says that club owners should be concerned about the low stadium attendance rather than the FA.

The Ghana Premier League has been hit with poor stadium attendance in recent weeks at the various stadia across the country.

The low patronage of the domestic top-flight has become a major concern for stakeholders, with some blaming the media for the low attendance at stadium.

With many pointing fingers at the Ghana FA, Kurt Okraku believes club owners have not done enough to win back supporters to the stadium.

“Our fans are absent, our spectators are absent, we playing football, we doing the business of football bout our fans are not consuming our football. It should be a concern to every club owner that your fans are far away from your clubs and this is not the responsibility of the FA, it’s your responsibility”

“There are other competing entertainment opportunities for every person and if you are not practical, proactive and don’t put up strategies that will bring back your fans believe me, your fans will not come. We need to be pragmatic, scientific and we need to go back to the basics on how to win the twelve man back into our football”

“Usually, it’s very normal for everybody to point fingers at Ghana FA but it’s a lie, it’s your time to do some work, it’s your time as club owners and executives to listen to your fans, go to your fans, find their worries and wore them back and this is a challenge I throw to each one of us. We love our football; we want more money in football but we can’t be sleeping. We have to think about how to win the supporters back to the stadium”
