Betting is something that has become deeply rooted within the system of football because people want to make money which is a complicated situation because of the huge monies involved, \u201d Arhinful said on the Football Legends Night Show last Friday on GH One TV.<\/p>\n<p>He added: \u201cWhen it comes to the our local league betting is turning out to be something else and if we don\u2019t take care our football will be dwindling because administrators, footballers and top football officials are involved in betting. So I think the GFA should inculcate stringent measure to curtail this problem.\u201d<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 56 updated by: 56 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sports News of Monday, 23 October 2017 Source: ghanacrusader.com 2017-10-23 Augustine Arhinful &#13; Former Black Stars player, Augustine Arhinful, feels the influx of betting companies in the country could affect the progress of the local game which is already struggling with regards to various pertinent issues.
