"Only Ghanaia media can promote and market our League"- Awudu Issaka

Former Ghana international Awudu Issaka has called on the Ghanaian media to promote and hype the domestic league if the falling standards in the top flight is to be arrested.

The FIFA Under 17 world Champion commended the local media for their continued effort at promoting the league but still urged them to devote more time for the players and the league on their platforms.

The one time global icon rallied the football family to project the image of the Ghanaian players to the outside world.

Awudu Issaka, dubbed as the darling boy in his peak period, pleaded with the press to flood the media circles with consistent reportage on the domestic league and its playing staff if the league is to reach the higher limits much craved for.

The 1995 FIFA U17 World champion tasked the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to partner with the top notch media practitioners to project and rejuvenate the sinking image of the Ghanaian top flight league.

“Nobody can project the image of our league except the Ghanaian media. They are the only gruop of people who can sell the image of the league and the players outside Ghana. They are doing a very good job alright but can still improve in a number of ways.

“If the GFA can partner with the hardworking journalists on one platform, I think the image of the league can be promoted as well. The media is a very strong tool used to publicise any sporting product”. Issaka told sports crusader exclusively.

The stylish attacking midfielder stormed the 1995 and 1997 editions of the FIFA U17 world championship but failed to blossom at the latter stages of his career. He was one of the Star players in the 1995 edition of the global juvenile soccer festival.

SWAG Prez shields players from media backlash after G6 Tournament

President of the Sports Writers Association of Ghana (SWAG) Kwabena Yeboah has pleaded with Ghanaians not to judge the quality of the home based players by the just ended G6 tournament.

The seasoned journalist admitted to the indifferent form of some of the players who featured in the off season tourney but was quick to cite the uncertain training schedule as a binding factor.

Reigning FCPPL champions Ashgold and FA Cup holders Medeama SC endured torrid times in the inaugural edition of the tournament as they crushed out without winning any match.

The SWAG president urged the football family not to descend on the players just by using the G6 as a barometer.

Known as “The Writer” in the football circles, Kwabena Yeboah highlighted on the individual brilliance of some of the players as the positives to feast on.

He cited uncertain training regime as the cause of the poor form from these players during the four day soccer festival.

“Some of the players were absolutely brilliant but a few were a bit rusty. Collectively a number of the teams didn’t do that well. I am not here to be critical of those teams since they did not know when the season was going to start I guess the coaches themselves are confused as to how to prepare their teams.” The SWAG Boss revealed

The veteran sports journalist then urged the football family not to be deceived by the form of the players during the just ended G6 gathering.

“It is difficult to use the G6 to assess most of the teams and I do hope that once the FA announces a firm date for the commencement of the league most of the teams will put their acts together.” He concluded.

Kumasi Asante Kotoko stormed to the G6 title with their impressive performances after a heavy win in the opening fixture against Berekum Chelsea at the Essipong stadium.

The Vice President of Ghana League Clubs Association (GHALCA), Isaac Koomson has called on the media to patronise the Women football in a bid to sell the league to corporate Ghana.

The experienced administrator appealed to the media to allocate just a portion of their colossal attention to the Women football as the foetal National Womens League (NWL) end.

Koomsom however brushed aside any comparison made between the nation’s top flight and the National Women League.

The GHALCA veep pleaded for the priceless attention from the Ghanaian press towards the women football in terms of publicity and image projections.

Mr Koomson rallied the teaming press to flood the airwaves with information about Women football just as they do to their males counterparts.

The confident speaking GHALCA vice chairman, further charged the media not to wrongly compare women football with the already established male counterparts since it will be too harsh.

He told www.sportscrusader.com, “media can play advocacy role and not to compare and contrast with men football. They should publicise the women league on its own merits and that will sell the league.

The media can also help when they project the positives of Women football and publish just headline news about the women football. The key concept here is continuous publicity”.

Hasaacas ladies confirmed their domestic supremacy with another league trophy to their cabinet for the third time running.
