Black Stars head coach Chris Hughton has urged all Ghanaians to take a keen interest in the Ghana Premier League.
The 64-year-old who assumed his role as the head coach of the Black Stars in March has been a big fan of the competition attending many games across various match centres in different regions in recent weeks.
Although he had earlier promised to watch the local games to scout top-performing players, he has now urged all Ghanaians to follow suit by watching and following the League.
In a video shared by the various social media handles of the Ghana Premier League, Chris Hughton said, “I urge everybody to follow the betPawa Premier League and watch as many games as possible as I will do.”

Meanwhile, Hughton had been advised to keep tabs on other competitions in the lower tier to spot equally gifted footballers for the Black Stars.
“Everybody wants to bring his player to Hearts or Kotoko or the big cities, but those that we are not expecting to be there are now controlling the league.
“So we need to go there and bring them also because the talent is not only in Accra or Kumasi or the big cities,” Sam Johnson, a former Ghana international told Radio Gold.
Hughton started his reign with an unbeaten start in the Africa Cup of Nations (AFCON) qualifiers, with a win and a draw against Angola.
Ghana now leads Group E in the qualifiers with eight points and is one win away from qualifying for the event, which will be hosted in Ivory Coast next year.
