Former Accra Hearts of Oak defender, Edward Agyemang Duah, also known as Rambo, has come out to reveal that the club still owes him and his former teammates money that was received from FIFA as compensation for not participating in the FIFA Club World Cup.
Duah, who has also played for Okwawu United, Asante Kotoko, Ashantigold, and the Black Stars of Ghana, disclosed that the players were promised a share of the compensation money but have not been fully paid by the club.
According to Duah, each player was initially given $3,000 but were later informed that there was more money owed to them. He mentioned that several former players, including Amankwah Mireku and Osei Kuffour, have also raised this issue.
In an interview with the Ernest Brew Smith Show on Youtube, Duah stated, “This matter it is still there, our money is still with Hearts. If you ask all the players, our money is still with Hearts, they have not paid us. We would have been the first team to go to the World Club Championship, it didn’t happen.”
He added, “FIFA compensated us, management also acknowledged that the money has arrived. We were given something, you will be there and they will call you and give you $3,000 that time. They let us know our money is with them, we did some paperwork on it, but who is saying it for you, some of the boys when they meet, they ask Amankwah Mireku, ask Osei Kuffour was interviewed, I think, by Dan in America, he raised it.”
