A member of the Ghana Football Association (GFA) Executive Committee, Nana Oduro Sarfo, has revealed that premier league teams do not receive any revenue from the television broadcasts of the league.

He explained that the FA is not generating sufficient income from these broadcasts to distribute funds to the various clubs for financial support.

However, Oduro Sarfo mentioned that the GFA executive committee has planned a meeting to discuss potential ways to raise revenue to support the premier league clubs, especially during these economically challenging times.

"GPL clubs receive no financial gains from the current TV broadcasts of the league. There is an EXCO meeting scheduled for Tuesday to explore possible financial solutions for clubs," he said, as shared by Oyerepa TV/FM on X (formerly Twitter).

Meanwhile, sports fans and pundits have raised concerns about the poor television coverage, which makes the matches less appealing to viewers.

Some of the media organisations involved in broadcasting the matches include Metro TV, with other stations like Globe TV also picking up the feed.
