Former Ghana Football Association president, Lepowura MND Jawula has called on government to offer financial support to Ghanaian clubs representing the country in CAF inter-club football competitions.
Many African countries offer support to clubs competing against the elite in Africa, and former first citizen of the country’s footall wants government to emulate its counterparts by offering financial support to clubs that represent the nation in the CAF inter-club competitions.
The practice was also done in this country but government withdrew their support in recent years.
And with reports that Ashanti Gold and Medeama SC, the two clubs to represent Ghana in Africa this year are financially stricken, Jawula wants government to stretch their arm to the clubs aid.
“When clubs qualify to Africa as it is done in other countries, government should pay an amount of money to them at least to cover their flights and accommodation,” MND Jawula told Starr FM.
NND Jawula explained that if clubs are offered financial support, they can pay bonuses of their players from their own coffers.
“So that the clubs are free enough to use their own money to pay bonuses that can motivate the players to play well,” He added.
