Outgoing GHALCA President Kudjoe Fianoo has pointed to the lack of corporate sponsorship as a key factor behind the diminishing influence of the Ghana League Clubs Association. Speaking in an interview with Citi Sports, Fianoo expressed concern over the waning appeal of Ghanaian football to corporate entities, which has hindered the association’s ability to run effective programs.

“Football is no longer appealing to corporate Ghana,” Fianoo lamented. “Programs that require sponsorships struggle to reach the level we aspire to because the support just isn’t there.”

Beyond the sponsorship drought, Fianoo highlighted another pressing issue: the indifferent attitude of Ghanaian clubs towards GHALCA. He noted that many clubs prioritize their relationships with the Ghana Football Association (GFA) over their commitment to GHALCA, further straining the association’s relevance.

Fianoo, who has served as GHALCA president since 2016, is set to step down at the end of the month. Reflecting on his tenure, he expressed concern about the association’s future, warning that these challenges must be urgently addressed to restore GHALCA’s standing in Ghanaian football.
