00:00 Yeah, it's still watching the AM show it's time for sports. My name is Harun Ombuarak
00:04 We start at a doorstep of the Ghana Football Association because they have announced the start of the Ghana Premier League
00:11 The competition is set to kick start on the 15th of September
00:15 Now it's really really interesting football fans across the nation are eagerly looking forward to the forthcoming
00:21 Fixtures which will be disclosed in due course according to the GFA defending champions
00:26 Midyama, they are eager to build on their success from last season and are actively seeking the right players to strengthen their squad
00:33 For another title runner. Santi Kotoko and Hearts of Hope, two of Ghana's big football clubs
00:40 They are also expected to stage a comeback this season after underperforming in the previous campaign
00:46 As club owners get ready to start the season former Black Stars forward David Akambe is sending a strong message
00:56 He is charging them to improve their investment in the clubs
00:59 He believes inadequate funds has affected the quality of clubs to compete at a highest level. I
01:05 Think as George did an interview with one football administrator. I don't want to mention names, but
01:12 They asked him how much he's made for money and he said it's made about five six million and when you look at his team
01:18 I don't think he's he's not invested anything in Swiss into his team. He doesn't have
01:24 facilities for his team
01:26 The jersey where it is not even good enough and that's one main reason
01:31 When America have money they put the money into good use they build academies
01:37 When you come to the MLS now, they have the MLS every team have MLS next pro is like
01:43 Reserve league that they play against every team and then they have the academy where they play MLS next
01:52 They play against each other and sometimes they invite teams from all over the world play tournament. So that's the progress
01:58 But in Ghana, we don't invest the money into football
02:02 We make the money from football and take it somewhere else
02:06 We don't invest the money and we always complain it so money is one and also be ready to have a goal
02:13 Set the goal and follow through it will take time
02:18 But for us we want the progress we want the
02:22 The job we don't we don't want to suffer when we set a goal follow the go through it will take time two years
02:29 Four years five years, but let's have a firm goal a firm DNA that is what we want to achieve and
02:36 That's what that's what they're doing here. And now you see America
02:41 Surplus from MLS to Europe for 20 million 50 million, but we have players in our league that can't even go
02:48 for 1 million and
02:51 I spoke to some some teams when they won players they go to Ghana and scout and they were like David
02:58 I don't think a player from Ghana can go straight into a
03:02 league in Europe even
03:04 Scandinavian level and start straight away. It will take time and
03:09 Learning this from from people who know football is is is frustrating and sad because
03:14 You won't cannot players to do well
03:17 And if they're looking down on us like this is difficult and you can't really blame the players
03:23 You just blame the system and maybe a little bit of the players mostly. They also have to better themselves
03:28 Also women's foot when the Black Wings have turned their attention to been in in the second round of the
03:35 24 Olympic Games qualifiers this follows the a 7-0 aggregate win over
03:40 Guinea over two legs now despite the emphatic win head coach Nora Hapto is not getting carried away
03:46 She wants more improvement from her side ahead of the game against Benin in October
03:50 In terms to the first game we had away in Guinea
03:56 I think we liked that the pitch is rolling much better here. So our possession game was good
04:03 Our rest defense was perfectly set so we didn't allow them to enter in counter-attacks
04:09 I think we had a big dominance on the pitch
04:13 of course, the only thing I can
04:16 Can maybe I'm judges that we should have scored a bit more goals out of all these chances
04:22 But all in all I'm very satisfied happy that we passed this first qualification round
04:29 And we want to aim high, of course
04:31 It's just the first step and the next step in our mission Walter
04:34 I think it's always good to take it step by step. So we pass now the first round and then you're right
04:40 It's a Benin or Guinea-Bissau waiting. We know Benin already from a friendly from February
04:45 Of course, we then analyze very good opponents and just focused and to take also the next step
04:51 We said this week
04:53 We are like all in a boat together our team riding the mission Volta and we always need to ensure that we
05:00 Go into the next harbor. So make the next step and then we can think about the third and fourth ride
05:07 Okay in between is also the Wafcon
05:10 qualifiers on September
05:12 We go to Rwanda first and and face them in the Wafcon qualifiers first round
05:18 We work a lot on our principles on our game plan strategy
05:23 We focus a lot on us to strengthen and level up our strengths. Of course beside we always do a good opponent analysis
05:31 We always have a high respect of every opponent we face
05:35 We try to find their weaknesses the right spaces. So my my staff
05:42 You you will see it will make a very good job in analyzing also of them
05:47 But we work a lot on us and focuses on us to level up our players on position
05:53 And I think this is the main focus
05:56 Let's go to Kumasi because the city is gearing up for the semi-finals of the MTN Ashanti Fest
06:07 2023 at the DTM Su O2 for park
06:10 I might say that the crowds that have thronged the match venue or the match venue since the competition started weeks ago
06:17 It's a testament to the good football and quality of goals
06:20 Now one of the standout players that have been in the team is obviously a tonsil team
06:26 Does the team are referring to he is rich monetary has got six goals and these are some of his key performances
