Ghana FA Executive Council member Frederick Acheampong has admitted that the FA made a mistake in the allocation of monies from the FIFA/CAF relief funds to the various stakeholders.

The allocation of the relief fund by the Ghana FA has been met by some serious criticisms on how the monies were allocated.

The allocation of $300,000 for the various national teams has incurred the wrath of some administrators who contend that the FA does fund activities of the national teams.

Speaking to Kumasi-based Nhyira FM, the former AshantiGold CEO conceded that some blunder might have been committed in the sharing of the monies.

Citing the discrepancy in the allocations to the Women’s league teams and the division one clubs, Frederick Acheampong said that the gap in the amount designated for teams in the two categories in huge.

Acheampong failed to rule out the possibility of the FA going back to re-design the disbursement plans.

“Take women’s football for instance, FIFA sent monies for women’s football and the women’s premier each club is getting $10,000 but the next level of women’s football in Ghana is the division one but each club got $840. Look at the difference between the figures. So if the clubs are complaining, they deserve to complain.

“Whatever the situation is we may have to sit down. We have not disbursed the money already so we can still go back. The money hasn’t come yet so we can still change some things. We will sit down as a group and see what is possible”, he said.
