GFA to Take Legal Action Against Unauthorised Betting on Domestic Competitions
Ghana Football Association (GFA) President Kurt Okraku has reiterated that no company has been granted the rights to feature matches from the Ghana Premier League, Division One League, or any other domestic competitions on their websites.
Speaking during the 31st Ordinary Congress, Okraku addressed the persistent issue of match-fixing allegations in Ghana’s football, stressing that certain individuals and betting companies have taken undue advantage of the system.
He condemned such practices, describing them as illegal, and revealed that the GFA is already taking steps to curb the menace.
“We are pursuing legal action locally and internationally against companies that unlawfully take bets on our leagues,” Okraku stated.
He further clarified that no betting company is currently authorised to take bets on any of Ghana’s domestic competitions.
“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,” he added.
The move forms part of the GFA’s broader campaign to safeguard the integrity of Ghana’s football and ensure that all stakeholders operate within legal and ethical boundaries.
