If they are not going to sponsor again, then each club will have to pay GH?30,000 as officiating fee for the season\u201d Mr. Acheampong said.<\/p>\n<p>He said the board is engaging the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to assist the clubs because most of the clubs are financially challenged to pay such huge amount.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe are brain-storming with the GFA to seek for help from the government because the clubs that are playing for the Division one are \u2018broke\u2019 and it will be very hard for them to pay such an amount. We want the FA to solicit assistance from Sports Ministry to lessen the burden of these poor clubs,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n<p>The Division one clubs were supposed to pay GH? 28.000 but the sponsorship catered for GH? 19,600 and the clubs only paid GH? 8,400.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI believe the Government needs to help the Division one clubs because if you go to Nigeria, the government pays for all the staffs and the technical staffs of the clubs, they build stadiums for them so the government must do same to save the football in the country,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 56 updated by: -1 --><\/p>\n<p><!-- Start of html generated by this->footer() -->\n<\/div>\n<p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a style=\"display:none\" rel=\"follow\" href=\"http:\/\/megatheme.ir\/\" title=\"\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633\">\u0642\u0627\u0644\u0628 \u0648\u0631\u062f\u067e\u0631\u0633<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Sports News of Tuesday, 21 November 2017 Source: otecfmghana.com 2017-11-21 Officials were previously paid by GN Bank as part of the sponsorship Division One League Board Chairman Owoahene Acheampong has hinted that Division one clubs will pay GH? 30,000 as officiating fees for the up-coming 2017\/18 season.
