Moses Armah Parker, the president of Medeama SC, has firmly dismissed allegations that his club obstructed the live broadcast of their highly anticipated Ghana Premier League match against Asante Kotoko. The match, which took place at the TnA Stadium and ended in a 1-1 draw, has been surrounded by controversy following claims that Medeama prevented GFA-accredited media partners from telecasting the game.
The Ghana Football Association (GFA) has taken a stern stance on the matter, charging Medeama SC with a breach of Section 42(6) of the GFA Premier League Regulations, 2019. According to the GFA, the club’s actions allegedly hindered accredited media partners from broadcasting the match live, raising questions about the league’s transparency and accessibility.
In response to these allegations, Parker expressed his bewilderment during an interview, emphasizing that Medeama SC has always adhered to the rules and regulations set forth by the GFA. “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, urging fans and media to await the official findings.
The unfolding controversy has not only sparked debates among fans and analysts but has also added an intriguing layer to an already thrilling season in the Ghana Premier League. As Medeama SC continues its campaign to remain competitive, the implications of this incident could have lasting effects on the club’s reputation and relationship with the media.
With the match commissioner’s report pending, the football community remains on edge, eager to uncover the truth behind the allegations. As the season progresses, the focus will undoubtedly remain on Medeama SC and their commitment to upholding the integrity of the league amidst the swirling rumours.
