Africa-Press – Ghana. <\/strong><\/span>The Wonder Club have been impressive in the ongoing campaign and after six matches played, the Olympics sit 7th on the league with 9 points. Last season, the club came close of winning the Premier League under Annor Walker.<\/p>\n

According to Mr Okraku, Olympics are no longer a mid-table team since they started beating big clubs in the Ghana Premier League. \u201cBeating Dreams FC in a match is not enough,\u201d Kurt Okraku charged the Olympics family when the club signed a bumper sponsorship deal with McDan.<\/p>\n

GFA President noted that winning matches are not enough as it has been ages since the traditional team from Accra won a trophy. \u201cWe need to win games and win the competitions that we are involved. It\u2019s been a long while since Great Olympics won the Ghana Premier League and the FA Cup,\u201d the GFA boss challenged Olympics.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt\u2019s been a long while since Olympics participated in any CAF-organized competition.\u201d<\/p>\n

Last season Great Olympics defeated Asante Kotoko and Hearts of Oak in the Ghana Premier League. The last time Great Olympics won a major trophy was in 1995 when they won the FA Cup.<\/p>\n
