“Medeama SC have been charged with a breach of Section 42(6) of the GFA Premier League Regulations, 2019, following their Ghana Premier League game against Asante Kotoko. It is alleged that the club prevented GFA-accredited media partners from the live broadcast of the said game.”

“We work with rules and regulations. Truth be told, no TV station showed up during the pre-match to telecast the match live. I have no idea of blocking the broadcast of the match. The match commissioner report will determine the truth,” he stated.
The controversy has added another layer to an already thrilling season as Medeama SC continues its campaign to remain competitive in the league.
