‘Asante Kotoko’s absence affected our revenue’ – GHALCA

The GHALCA Top Six won by Great Olympics after Asante Kotoko rejected the idea of playing in the competition and Hearts of Oak also failing to perform.

According to Nana Oduro Nyarko, the Porcupine’s decision not to partake in the competition affected their revenue, adding that the decision did not though affect the competitiveness of it.

He said: “If Kotoko had played in the competition, we would have gotten more money than we are getting now but as to whether it would have made the competition more competitive, i cant say for sure.

“In terms of money, Kotoko’s absence affected our revenue, but quality of play was not affected in any way.

“With the exception of Hearts of Oak game which gave us something in the region of 10,000Gh, all the others did not even yield 1000Gh.

“Ghalca games have been rightly captured in our books and it is binding on all clubs. We are yet to sit on the Kotoko pull out but its incumbent on all clubs to seek the welfare of their mother body.

“If a club wants to weaken or collapse that mother Association, it is up to them.” Nana Oduro Nyarko (Ghalca administrative manager) on Akoma 87.9 FM
