Sports Minister, Mustapha Ussif has commended the Ghana Football Association (GFA), for putting together a competitive 2020/21 football season.
The GFA for the first time in three and half seasons organized one of the most competitive seasons in the annals of Ghana Football that saw Hearts of Oak emerge champions of both the premier league and the MTN FA cup.
In the Second-tier competition, Real Tamale United, Bibiani Gold Stars and Accra Lions booked their Premier League tickets following enthralling campaign in Division one.

In a speech read on his behalf by aide Eric Mensah Bonsu during the launch of the Division One League Super Cup on Wednesday, the Yagaba-Kubore lawmaker was full of praise for the GFA for staging one of the best seasons ever.

“I am told the MTN FA Cup final was well competed for and the better side won the day. On that note, I would like to congratulate the Champions on winning the Ghana Premier League and the MTN FA cup. Congratulations to the GFA and partners-Startimes, Macron, Melcom Group, MTN, Woodin, NASCO Electronics, Decathlon, Intercity STC among others for putting together a fascinating league season.
