Former vice president of the Ghana Football Association, George Afriyie, claims that Kurt Okraku, the FA’s president, did not provide funding for the distribution of football boots to all Division One and Premier League Clubs.
Kurt Okraku promised all Division One League clubs would receive 30 football boots annually at the start of the 2022–23 betPawa Premier League, and he more than kept his word in the recently concluded 2022–23 campaign.
A total number of One Thousand Four Hundred and Forty (1,440) pair of boots was supplied to the 48 Division One League clubs and Five Hundred and forty (540) pair of boots were delivered to the Premier League clubs, taking the number of boots to be shared to One Thousand nine hundred and eighty (1,980).
According to the astute football administrator, “Kurt Okraku never funded the distribution of football boots to Premier and Division One League clubs”, he told Angel TV.
However, speaking at the 29th Ordinary Congress of the Ghana Football Association, held at KNUST Great Hall in Kumasi on Monday, July 10, Kurt Okraku opined that, amid the many challenges confronting Ghana football, the association is doing its bid to ignite passion and create wealth for all.
According to Kurt Okraku “Division One clubs will each now receive GHC 80,000 next season as incentives”, he said.
George Afriyie is among the candidates who have shown interest to compete in the next GFA presidential election which is slated for October 2023.
