According to Nana Oduro Sarf, a Ghana Football Association's (GFA) Executive Council member, Premier League teams do not profit monetarily from the league's television broadcasts.
Due to a breach of their contractual responsibilities, the GFA and its previous broadcaster, StarTimes, severed ways after the 2023–2024 season.
Ghana Premier League broadcasts are currently available on Metro TV, NET2 TV, AFA Sports, Original TV, and Globe TV.
Sarfo did, however, disclose that the money made from these broadcasts is not enough to sustain the clubs financially.
He mentioned that the GFA has called a conference to discuss methods to increase revenue, especially to help struggling teams.
"The Ghana Premier League's current TV broadcasts do not bring in any money for the league's clubs. "We have an EXCO meeting on Tuesday to discuss potential funding options for clubs," he said to Oyerepa FM in Kumasi.
On the other hand, sports fans and commentators are worried about the subpar television coverage since they feel it lessens the viewing attraction of the games.
