Don’t cancel the GPL season – George Owu
Ghana and the entire world is battling a global pandemic, COVID-19, this has led to the immediate suspension of the nation’s novelty league, the Ghana Premier League as things stand now.
This has led to calls from some football administrators, coaches, and other stakeholders to have the league canceled, King Faisal’s Alhaji Grusah, New Edubease’s Abdul Salam Yakubu and Berekum Chelsea’s Asare Bediako being the proponents.
But in sharp contrast, former Kumasi Asante Kotoko goalie George Owu holds different stances to the cancellation of the Ghana Premier League.
He believes that an annulment of the league will kill the excitement it has so far generated, as football-loving fans missed their football, owing to the fact that, last year, Anas’ expose also brought the league to an abrupt end.
“The league is improving in terms of how the supporters are going to the stadium and how Legon Cities are inviting big artistes to the stadium”.
“Everything shows that the league is growing and the interest is increasing after every matchday. The Ghana Football Association will decide whether to continue or cancel the league but they are waiting for some months to see. We have to continue the league to see what God will do, Owu told Adeiso-based Tru FM”.
He is, therefore, counting on the FA to make a decision that will serve the long term interest of Ghana football.
