Ghanaian international Baba Rahman has called on the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to step up its game in the planning and management of the Ghana Premier League, stressing that strategic improvements could unlock the league’s true potential.

Speaking in an interview with Joy Sports, the PAOK left-back said the problem with the local league isn’t a lack of talent, but poor organization and planning — factors he believes have hurt club performances, especially in continental competitions.

> “The challenges in our league aren’t due to a lack of talent — there are genuinely good players competing,” Rahman noted. “But when it comes to continental competitions, we often fall short. The real problem lies in planning and organization. Improving these areas is crucial to attracting fans and helping our clubs perform better.”

With the 2025/26 Ghana Premier League season set to begin on September 12, Rahman’s comments come at a crucial time, as clubs and stakeholders prepare for another campaign.
