Ghana FA Executive Council member, Samuel Anim Addo has pleaded with the government to come to the aid of football clubs amid the coronavirus pandemic.
Most Ghanaian club administrators have opened up on the difficulties and challenges having to deal with paying salaries of players despite the suspension of the league.
The Ghana Premier League has been suspended since March 21 due to the coronavirus outbreak.
According to Samuel Anim Addo, the Covid-19 pandemic has affected club owners and it will be difficult to raise money from their coffers to run the clubs when football returns without government support.
“If we are going to always raise funds from our own pockets - the little we’ve earned from our private businesses - into the game, then we are in for trouble," he told Ghana Web.
“It is time that we get support from government and corporate organizations to make sure that the game will be played the way it ought to be played because all these corporate brands use football to promote their brands.
He added: "It is clear that they use football as a channel so they have to come in so that the game will rise to the level we all want and then we enjoy the fruit of it. We the people in the game in Ghana are really suffering because the little that I have saved through private businesses for my family has to be used for the game.
"In our part of the world, what we do is to pay the boys [with the little we have] until we get a transfer fee from a boy who gets to Europe. Then we get some good money, else all the money you earn from a private business will have to be invested in the game."
Ghanaian Clubs continue to call on the Ghana FA and government for support as the pandemic raves on.
