This pronouncement was made by the president of the GFA, Kwesi Nyantakyi at the three-day seminar of the association in Cape Coast in an attempt to prevent clubs from stopping StarTimes who have the television rights from covering the league.
Mr. Nyantakyi said "We are going to apply sanctions on clubs infringing on the rights of our sponsors.
"So Clubs that prevent our television rights owners, StarTimes from telecasting their matches will lose the points for that game.

"We saw last season that some clubs prevented StarTimes from telecasting their matches and all these shall be punishable by points deduction if they happen again."
It would be recalled that Aduana Stars and Bechem United stopped StarTimes from telecasting their fixtures against Asante Kotoko and Olympics respectively last season.
This has compelled the GFA President to announce that any club that repeats such unprofessional act will be punished.
According to Nyantakyi, this would ensure that the act becomes a thing of the past.
