Former Chairman of the Ghana Football Association, Lepowura Alhaji MND Jawula believes the financial constraints of Ghanaian clubs are partly to blame for their poor campaigns in CAF’s inter-clubs competitions.
His comments come following AshantiGold’s elimination from the CAF Champions League against MO Bejaia last Sunday, which has extended the country’s attempt to play in the Group stage of the CAF Champions League since 2012 when Berekum Chelsea featured in the group stage.
Speaking to Joy FM in Accra, Alhaji MND Jawula said,“All governments have not been good to football and I have been saying this over and over and when we qualified for Africa we are among the few countries where government pays nothing to the clubs”
“If government should even handle the flight and accommodation for our clubs that qualify then they will have money to left over to pay extra bonuses which will motivate the players’’ he added.
Lepowura MND Jawula also called on football authorities to collaborate with government in order to arrest the current situation.
“There are a lot we are not getting right and I think our football authorities should sit with government and to avoid quarreling and fighting over unnecessary World Cup money, let us make the government know where the difficulty is so they can support.”, he said.
Medeama SC is now Ghana’s only hope in continental competition this year after they were drawn by in the CAF Confederations Cup Preliminary round.
