‘’For various reasons, Ghana Football has been a lot in the last four years – from the Anas Expose to the days of Normalization and later to COVID-19. Indeed we have been turbulent times but the energy and commitment shown by this administration gives me joy and satisfaction.
‘’I am told the MTN FA Cup final on was well competed for and the better side won the day. On that note, I would like to congratulate Champions – Accra Hearts of Oak on winning the Ghana Premier League and the MTN FA Cup. Congratulations to the GFA and Partners StarTimes, Macron, Melcom Group, MTN, Woodin, NASCO Electronics, Decathlon, IntercitySTC among others for putting together a fascinating League season.
