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>But  Mr Appiah in an interview with Otec Fm Royal Sports\u2019 Dominic Owusu-Ansah that, &#8220;None of the Division One clubs will get that 30k to pay for officiating fees because even some of the clubs were withdrawing from the league due to travelling expenditure &#8220;<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;My team Bofoakwa will not get the 30k to pay for officiating fees because the club is even on verge of bankruptcy and we are even looking forward for  a strategic investors  to take over the club for free &#8221; he added.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 55 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 Thursday, 23 November 2017 Source: otecfmghana.com 2017-11-23 Clubs in the DOL are being asked to pay GH?
