Executive Council member of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Nana Oduro Sarfohasconfirmed that Chinese-owned pay-TV operator StarTimes will resume broadcasting the Ghana Premier League (GPL) in February.StarTimes had initially secured the GPL broadcast rights in 2016 under a ten-year agreement valued at $17.9 million.However, complications in payments of debtled to a suspension of its coverage, leaving a gap in live broadcasting for the league.The last time I spoke about StarTimes was four weeks ago. StarTimes will come in February. The GFA doesnt have any contract with a media house at the moment. Since we had no TV rights and our matches were not going public, we decided to engage certain companies to handle it for a specific time and even put it on our GFA app. But that is now gone, Oduro Sarfo told Guide Radio.If by February, StarTimes comes on board, everything ceases, and nobody will have access to the rights anymore. They will take over completely, he added.In the ongoing 2024/25 Ghana Premier League, the games are been broadcasted on various TV stations including Metro TV, Original TV, Net2 TV, and AFA Sports.
