GFA open to partnership with betting companies over matches

Audio By Carbonatix

Kurt Okraku says the Ghana Football Association (GFA) is open to partnering with 'credible betting companies' who aim to put games from Ghana's football ecosystem on their platforms.

According to Okraku, no company has been given the rights to include matches from the Ghana Premier League, Division One League or any of the games from the country on their websites.

In the past, there have been many claims of match fixing in Ghana's football with people taking advantage through betting companies.

However, the GFA President has described those practices as being illegal.

"We are pursuing legal action locally and internationally against companies that unlawfully take bets on our leagues," he said during the GFA's 31st Ordinary Congress.

"No betting company is allowed to take bets on our domestic competitions.

"We are open to partnerships with credible legal betting companies who wish to engage with our football ecosystem transparently and ethically."
