Kudjoe Fianoo, the head of the Ghana League Clubs Association (GHALCA), has made a bold statement regarding two of Ghana's football giants, Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko. He described them as "ordinary teams" and claimed that they have lost their former glory.
Asante Kotoko, who were the defending champions, have struggled to replicate their success from the previous season. The Porcupine Warriors have faced difficulties in securing victories throughout the current campaign.
Similarly, Accra Hearts of Oak have had a disappointing performance in the league this season. They find themselves in a precarious position where, if the teams below them fail to win in match week 34 and they also do not secure a victory, they could potentially face relegation.
Hearts of Oak currently occupies the 11th position on the league table with 45 points, while Asante Kotoko is in 4th place with 51 points.
Fianoo expressed his view that these teams have become ordinary and that their former allure has diminished. He emphasized that the excitement surrounding matches involving these clubs is no longer present. He drew comparisons to popular clubs in other leagues, such as Barcelona and Real Madrid in Spain, Bayern Munich and Dortmund in Germany, and Manchester United and Liverpool in the UK, which continue to generate enthusiasm among football fans.
"If they are doing well they will pull people to watch matches but they are ordinary that is we have rendered them ordinary. So the excitement is not there if you go to Spain it is about Barcelona and Real Madrid," Fianoo told Happy FM as monitored by Footballghana.com
Furthermore, Fianoo expressed his excitement about the resurgence of Bofoakwa, another Ghanaian club, indicating that their return to form has brought him joy.
"You come to Germany it is about Bayern Munich Dortmund, in UK it is about Manchester United, Liverpool those traditional clubs. That is why I am so excited that Bofoakwa is back,"
