Bibiani Gold Stars CEO says GFA has not paid promised GH₵1m to clubs

Bibiani Gold Stars Chief Executive Officer, Kwasi Adu, has disclosed that the Ghana Football Association (GFA) has yet to fulfill its commitment to pay a promised sum of GH₵1 million to clubs in the Ghana Premier League. The announcement highlights ongoing concerns regarding the financial relationship between the nation's football governing body and the individual teams that comprise the top-flight division. The GH₵1 million pledge was originally intended to alleviate the significant operational costs incurred by clubs during the league season. However, Mr. Adu confirmed that the funds have not yet been disbursed, leaving many clubs to manage their expenditures without the expected support. The delay in payment has prompted calls for greater transparency regarding the GFA’s financial obligations to its member clubs. In response to the current situation, a strategic meeting is being organized between GFA officials and representatives from the various Premier League clubs. This meeting will serve as a platform to discuss the specific modalities of the payment and to clarify the reasons behind the delay. Club leaders are expected to use the opportunity to seek assurances on when the money will finally be transferred into their respective accounts. This development comes at a time when Ghanaian clubs are increasingly vocal about the need for better sponsorship and financial backing to improve the quality of the local game. The resolution of this payment issue is seen as a vital step in maintaining the trust between the GFA leadership and the club executives. As the league progresses, stakeholders will be closely monitoring the outcome of the scheduled discussions to see if the GFA will honour its financial promises.
