Hearts of Oak board member Nyaho Nyaho-Tamakloe has renewed his criticism of the Ghana Premier League, describing the overall standard of play as consistently poor.
“I have been monitoring our local league, and the standard of play remains very low,” he told Graphic Sports.
His comments add to growing concerns about the quality and competitiveness of the domestic top flight, which was once widely regarded as a strong platform for producing some of Ghana’s finest football talents.
Dr Nyaho-Tamakloe pointed to deeper structural challenges as key factors behind the decline, including weak player development systems, declining coaching standards, and inconsistencies in match officiating.
He warned that without urgent reforms, the league risks further loss of appeal both locally and internationally.
His remarks come against the backdrop of underwhelming performances by Ghanaian clubs in continental competitions—a trend many analysts link to the weakening standards of the domestic league.
The outspoken administrator insists that restoring credibility will require a coordinated national effort, including increased investment in youth development, improved infrastructure, and stricter enforcement of professional standards.
