President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Kurt Okraku, has mentioned the significant amount of funding required to manage football efficiently.
The primary cause of the GFA’s incapacity to satisfy the financial demands of the country’s football organizations, he indicated, is this.
In his remarks during a Kumasi media briefing following Ghana’s disastrous 2023 AFCON in Cote D’Ivoire, where the Black Stars were unable to advance past the group stage, the GFA President made this statement.
Looking into the matter, President Okraku stated that if financial difficulties prevented him from doing what he wanted to do, he would like to provide a million dollars a season to every club in the Division One, Women’s Premier League, and Ghana Premier League.
“Funding is a big problem. Football is a capital intensive enterprise. In as much as we are doing whatever we can to have a lot of funding, it’s not been enough.
“If I had a way, I will give each Premier League club or Women Premier League club or DOL club a million dollar a season if I had a way, if I had the means.” he said
