Former Nsoatreman FC General Manager Eric Alagidede has warned that Ghanaian giants Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko could lose their relevance in the next two decades if urgent steps are not taken.
The two most decorated clubs in the country, with a combined 45 Premier League titles, have struggled in recent years to consistently fill their stadiums on matchdays.
Hearts of Oak currently sit third on the league table with 40 points, two ahead of fourth-placed Kotoko.
Alagidede’s concerns follow what he describes as the gradual decline of several traditional clubs in Ghana’s top flight.
"I am not going to be the prophet of doom but if we are not careful, clubs like Hearts of Oak and Asante Kotoko may not be relevant in the next 20 to 30 years,” he said in an interview with Sporty FM.
"I am being very honest. [Traditional clubs like] BA United is playing in Division Two, Bofoakwa Tano in Division Two, Hasaacas in Division Two.
"I have done a lot of work on traditional clubs.”
Kotoko will next face Vision FC in the Premier League, while Hearts travel to take on second-placed Bibiani GoldStars.
