No idea really. The other year they invited us over there to improve their academy and to have some sort of link up. I think we get first option on their young players - but I'm not sure what we give in return.

Are some of those team names for real? Surely with team names like Arsenals and Feyenoord, they are not the most original names i've ever seen!

Hearts of Oak is a pretty awesome name!

Hearts of Oak is a pretty awesome name!

They seem to be the champions most years as well.

Apparently we send over coaching staff to help them out several times a year,

Also their most promising youngsters get to spend time at the club to improve their skills and of course we get first refusal on any likely to make the grade in the prem


The thread title confused me, I thought it was a type of illegal smoking substance that I had not tried

Just been on the league website and apparently they had a top-4 competition (like rugby) after the season (not sure if it decided the league winner or not). Remembering the tabel above comes from their website I am now confused as to why the site says:

Accra Hearts of Oak, Kumasi Asante Kotoko, Kpando Heart of Lions all past winners and Berekum Arsenals are competing for honours in the 1.4 billion cedi competition.

Kumasi Asante Kotoko (the "Porcupine Warriors") won for those who are interested.

Not sure of an Arsenal Link, But Feyenoord is definately involved in their name sake there.

Such arrangements make a lot of sense. It doesnt cost the European clubs much and all they need is one Essien type player to do well. The spin offs for the Ghanian clubs are incredible and it improves the world wide brand of football
