The Minister of Sports and Recreation, Kofi Adams, has expressed disappointment over the state of youth football and Ghana’s domestic league, citing ongoing challenges with competition quality and funding.
Speaking on Peace FM, Mr. Adams noted that inconsistencies and lack of competitiveness have hampered the league’s ability to attract sponsorship. “I am not too impressed with the Colts, and even by extension, our local league, but it is step by step. Funding has been a big challenge for the league. Sometimes, when the season ends, the money that should be given to them becomes a problem,” he said.
Ahead of the 2025/26 season, the government, in collaboration with Adesa Production Limited, provided each Premier League club with GH¢1 million to kickstart the campaign. Adams further explained that, following directives from President John Mahama, a system has been established to ensure timely financial support for all clubs.
“Today, as I speak to you, through the directives of the President, we have put a system in place that has enabled us to give every club a million Ghana cedis to start the league with,” the Buem MP added.
