Former Great Olympics player Korley Laryea has advocate for the integration Ghana Premier League players into the Black Stars to help boost attendance in our domestic league matches.
Laryea’s comments came amid concerns over poor match attendance in our local league over the past three seasons. While some attribute this poor attendance to lack of quality and talented players, Laryea disagrees.
He advocates for allowing local players to represent the national team, believing that their inclusion would generate excitement and draw larger crowds to stadium matches.
“It’s not down, but my advice is they have to use the local players to join the national team,” Laryea stated, emphasizing the importance of player names in football. When Hearts are playing Kotoko and have about two players in the national team, it will bring the crowd to come and watch the match” He said.
“If Kotoko has about two or three players in the national team, Bofoakwa as well, they call supporters from home to come and watch the matches. Our local players are also good” He concluded.
