Kickgh.com can exclusively report that the Ghana Football Association (GFA) is planning to sell streaming rights for all of its competitions next season and beyond, ushering in a digital revolution.
The decision by the Kurt Okraku-led administration to move from the traditional ways of football coverage in Ghana marks a huge shift in how Ghanaian football will be consumed by fans all over the world.
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has already received proposals from some online streaming companies in a lucrative package to acquire rights to broadcast the Ghana Premier League, Women's Premier League, Division One League, and FA Cup competitions.
The country's football governing body also believes that this might attract more attention from around the world and lead to new sources of income for Ghanaian football.
This decision from the Ghana FA is indicative of a wider trend in sports broadcasting, as streaming services are posing a greater threat to traditional television in the race for viewership.
Ghana is in line to become the second country in West Africa to join the digital revolution in football live streaming coverage after Nigeria.
In 2023, the Nigeria Football Federation (NFF) announced a deal worth more than $5 million annually with live streaming company Propel Sports Africa.
