Ghana FA President Kurt Okraku Blames Hearts and Kotoko for Low Attendance During Super Clash

• Ghana FA boss Kurt Okraku believes teams are to blame for poor attendance
• Hearts of Oak defeated rival club Asante Kotoko at the Accra Sports Stadium
• The clash between the two clubs on Sunday recorded low supporter numbers

President of the Ghana Football Association, Kurt Okraku has apportioned blame to Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko for the low attendance of fans during the Super Clash on Sunday.

The biggest game on the Ghanaian football calendar between the two most glamorous clubs in the country recorded its worst ever patronage in recent years.

The Phobians defeated the Porcupine Warriors 1-0 to win the President Cup, but the talking point has been why fans are no longer interested in the domestic league.

According to the FA boss, the problem has to do with the clubs and not the federation.

"The two teams have a lot to do to bring back the fans. It’s up to Kotoko to ask why their fans aren’t consuming their game and the same as Hearts of Oak. The fans belong to the clubs and not the GFA, but we will do our part," he told Angel TV, as quoted by Footballghana.com.

The problem has been the same across other centres, with local clubs struggling to get fans into the stadiums.
