President John Dramani Mahama has urged the Ghana Football Association (GFA) and club administrators to swiftly enhance the quality of domestic football and bring back the discontinued Colts League. The call came during a meeting with Medeama SC, Nations FC, and Ampem Darkoa Ladies FC. The President expressed worry over the falling standards in the domestic league and the premature departure of promising Ghanaian footballers to foreign clubs.
Mahama emphasized the necessity of creating an environment that permits young talents to flourish within the country before considering international moves. He stated, "We must devise a means to retain our skilled players, provide them with opportunities within the national team, enable them to acquire international experience, and then allow them to relocate abroad upon reaching maturity."
He stressed that bolstering the domestic league and nurturing young talents would be essential to rejuvenating Ghana's footballing prospects.
