Soccer fans who troop to the various stadiums in the country to watch premier league games, would soon no longer sit idle counting the minutes before kick-off.
A source close to the Ghana Football Association (GFA) management board, on Thursday disclosed to the Times that the re-introduction of curtain-raiser matches is high on the agenda of he F/A.
The re-introduction of the curtain-raiser is not only to wet the appetite of fans before the main match but rather be part of the Ben Koufie’s F/A management board’s five year development plan for Ghana soccer.
The source however failed to mention what form the curtain-raisers will take; whether the premier clubs will be made to feature a reserve side, colts clubs or lower division clubs taking up the mantle.
Curtain-raisers used to be a popular feature during the then division one league, but ceased to function at the introduction of the professional league.
