Veteran Sports Broadcaster now turned politician Kwabena Agyei Agyepong has called for more traditional clubs to help promoted the local game.

According to the former chief of staff under the erstwhile Kuffour regime, traditional teams have a connection with the locals at the places the teams are located.

He has called for action to forestall the extinction of traditional teams with the new model of one man teams which kills the enthusiasm of supporters since they do not feel a part of the team.

Speaking in an interview with Kumasi based Oyerepa FM,he questioned why the people of Ga Mashie will watch on helplessly for Hearts of Oak to be owned by a single individual.

"Ghanaian clubs must have organic link with the communities to succeed. This is one thing our local Football is lacking.

We don't know where our traditional clubs are now and it's something eating deep into the fiber of our local Football."

"A reason spectators don't troop to the stadium, I watch my own Kotoko and we can't fill the stadium in Kumasi,what?

These traditional clubs have their umbilical cords attached to the communities, that's where they draw their adrenaline from."

"The one man teams taking over has taken the shine out of our game and we need to look at it again.

I hear Hearts of Oak is now for a person which shouldn't be so,the Hearts of Oak I know is for Ga mashie and I will urge Ga mashie to reclaim and take over what is theirs."

"The Olympics, RTU ,Okwahu,Akotex etc . who are traditional are the kind of clubs we need in our league to draw the necessary ambiance and support at match centers." he added.
