Former Ghana FA head Ben Koufie suggests to football authorities to pass a legislation that would bond players to play in the local league for at least two or three years before moving abroad.
The CAF/FIFA instructor argues that such a law will save the league from sinking as well as boost the country’s image in inter-clubs competitions.
“The GFA must go to congress and effect changes to the laws. Congress should make laws that can only allow players to leave for abroad after playing actively for two or three years on the local scene,” Koufie as quoted on Ghanasoccernet.
“The culture of allowing players to move out at the least chance is also contributing to the current situation we have on our hands. They would be mature when they stay a little longer. There must be plans to save the situation,” he adds.
Ghanaian clubs have suffered in CAF competitions since giants Asante Kotoko last played in the money zone in 2008. League champions Aduana Stars and AshantiGold could not progress to the group stages of the CAF Champions League and Confederation Cup respectively this year.
