Baba Rahman praises quality of Ghana Premier League

By Lukman MUMIN, Accra

Ghana defender Baba Rahman has urged the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to focus on better planning and organization to revive the fortunes of the Ghana Premier League.

In an interview with Joy Sports, the former Dreams FC and Chelsea left-back stated that Ghanaian clubs are not lacking in talent but struggle due to poor structural support.

“The challenges in our league aren’t due to a lack of talent; there are genuinely good players competing. But when it comes to continental competitions, we often fall short,” Rahman said.

Rahman, who made a direct move from Dreams FC to German Bundesliga side SpVgg Greuther Fürth in 2012, believes the league’s potential remains untapped due to weak planning and poor execution.

“The real problem lies in planning and organization. Improving these areas is crucial to attracting fans and helping our clubs perform better,” he added.

The just-ended season saw Bibiani Gold Stars win their first-ever Ghana Premier League title, securing the crown with an impressive 4-0 victory over Accra Lions on the final day.
