FIFA COVID-19 relief fund: Clubs deserve more than national teams-Legon Cities PRO

Published on: 22 July 2020

The Communications Director for Legon Cities Kwame Dwomoh-Agyemang has raised concerns about the Ghana FA's allocation of FIFA’s relief fund to the various national teams.

The GFA has allocated some monies from the fund to some quarters which has been highly opposed by some club administrators and owners.

Kwame Dwomoh Agyemang in his view questioned why monies are allocated to the various national team who are not distressed at the moment juxtaposing it with clubs paying salaries of players and other administrative costs.

“Which of the national teams is in distress that they will need $300,000 at the moment comparing it to the clubs”, he quizzed on Happy FM.

“They (national teams) have no qualifiers or competitions coming up so why allocate this money. It’s weird and ambiguous by the explanations they are giving to the allocation of money to the national teams.

“If the league has been cancelled what are we managing now. This money is for stakeholders who are distressed.

He added that it’s the clubs that have been adversely affected by the pandemic thus the reason they need more support from the FA

“From February till now we haven’t been able to generate money and we are still paying players till now the same applies to the clubs. That is what we call adversely affected”.
