Chairman of the MTN FA Cup Committee, Wilson Arthur, says they are hoping to secure radio and TV rights deals ahead of the new Ghana football season.

The Ghana Football Association (GFA) have ended their partnership deal with StarTimes, who were rights holders of the FA Cup following the conclusion of the 2023/24 football season.

However, according to him, having enough revenue in the domestic competition will help improve it and also allow more patronage than in previous years.

"This year, we are hoping that there will be radio rights, there will be TV rights so all those will bring in some revenue," said Arthur on the sidelines at the GFA's 30th Ordinary Congress.

"All the matches will be promoted. Football is showbiz; when you don't promote it and you just show up and play, it's not the same. So we will improve on the promotion of the matches and players so they feel like stars and perform like stars."

Nsoatreman FC clinched the 2023/24 FA Cup trophy last season beating their regional rivals Bofoakwa Tano in the final at the University of Ghana Stadium.
