Reports last friday, indicated that FIFA have set $250m to be distributed to its 211 members as stimulus package amid covid-19 outbreak
Ghana football Association is set to recieve $500000 as their share of the funds
Before then, football administrator in Ghana had charged the FA to give them some cash as form of reliefs, over the coronavirus outbreak, so the news of the FIFA monies came us a breakthrough but Henry Asante Twum who is the communication director of the Football governing body in the country has ‘crashed’ their hopes
“FIFA said they will release operational funding, taking into account the difficulties member Associations have gone through in the aftermath of the Coronavirus pandemic and decided to release the 2019/2020 funds for the operational cost of $500,000” he told Asempa FM.
“The FA updates its members on operational cost yearly which includes staff Salaries, operations of the FA, maintenance of the FA, amount that goes into communication, publicity, Ghanama Soccer centre of excellence, its a broad area” he said.
Mr Asante continue to say is up to the EXCO to make a decision as to whether football clubs in Ghana should also get their share or not
“I can say with all authority that the money coming from FIFA is not for clubs, but for the operations of the FA, if the exco in their wisdom decide to support clubs out of the money, so be it” Mr Asante concluded.
