Muntari Slams Ghana Premier League, Calls It ‘A Big Hole’ for Investors

Former Black Stars midfielder, Sulley Muntari, has raised concerns about the future of the Ghana Premier League, calling it a “big hole” where investors are pouring money with little to no return.

The outspoken footballer expressed his worries in a recent interview with 3Sports, stating that unless significant changes are made, the league will continue to struggle and fail to produce quality players for the national team.

Muntari’s comments reflect his frustration with the current state of the league. He emphasized that the league, as it stands, lacks a clear vision for growth and sustainability.

“It was amazing; I did enjoy it. Hearts fans, and the President is also an amazing man. But the league is just a big hole they are throwing money into,” Muntari stated.

“There is no future for the local league. I don’t know when, but I’m hoping that I start doing my work, get some funds, and then I will help them.”

His criticism is not a recent sentiment, as Muntari has spoken about the state of Ghanaian football in the past.

However, he believes that the situation has worsened over time, and unless urgent reforms are implemented, the league will continue to fall short in developing talent for the Black Stars.

According to Muntari, the lack of investment in local clubs and infrastructure is holding back the potential of young players, which could ultimately affect the national team’s performance on the global stage.

The former midfielder also alluded to his desire to contribute to the improvement of the league.

He hopes to raise funds and invest in the development of Ghanaian football, suggesting that this is the only way forward for the league to thrive. “If we don’t help these guys, how can we get top Black Star players? We won’t get it,” he added.

Muntari’s comments come at a time when the Ghana Premier League faces mounting criticism from fans and experts who feel that the league has not lived up to its potential.

With talented players leaving for foreign clubs and local clubs struggling financially, the future of the league remains uncertain unless significant steps are taken to revitalize it.
