Black Stars coach Otto Addo has praised the progress of the Ghana Premier League, highlighting its development since the previous seasons.

Addo witnessed Medeama's 1-0 victory over Legon Cities at the University of Ghana Stadium on Saturday, and he was impressed.

Speaking to reporters after the game, Addo stated "This is my first season observing the league closely. At the end of the last season, I watched a little bit of videos; it was okay in general."

He continued, "I think it's picking up, it's getting more interesting, and we have to see. I think it's early; it's now early [to make an assessment]. Let’s watch the season and see how the players perform. I think the performance, in general, is going up. When I compare it to two years ago, it has improved."

In the recent squad for the 2025 Africa Cup of Nations qualifiers, Addo included only one - Kotoko's goalkeeper Fredrick Asare.

However, he is expected to call up more home-based players for next month's crucial games against Sudan, signalling his growing interest in the local league.

Addo’s involvement is a boost for the Ghana Premier League as he continues to scout talent and integrate local players into the national setup.
