Asante Kotoko are heading to court over a directive from the Ghana Football Associationthat seeks to prevent the club and others from filming its own matches in the domestic top-flight, GHANAsoccernet.com can exclusively report.
Officials of the Porcupine Warriors have been left incensed with the latest directive from the governing body and will challenge the association at the law court, GHANAsoccernet.com has been told.
In a letter from the Association addressed to all Clubs and stakeholders, the Ghana FA emphasized that illegal filming infringes on the Contractual agreement with Broadcast partners Startimes Ghana and anyone found culpable will be dragged to the Law Court.
But the Ghanaian powerhouse has not taken kindly to the directive, insisting the move is “backwards”, vowing to fight the FA on the matter to its logical conclusion.
This directive prohibits Asante Kotoko from utilizing its video and technology partners VEO from capturing its games – in a sensational twist which has ruffled feathers in the West African nation.
