This has heightened financial burden of club owners in the second-tier league as majority of the proceeds from the GN Bank sponsorship was used to heavily subsidise officiating fees for example.<\/p>\n<p>Clubs are now being asked to pay a minimum of GHc30,000 as officiating fee in the coming season as a result of the GN Bank\u2019s decision to no longer sponsor the league.<\/p>\n<p>But the Head of the Bank, Dr. Papa Kwesi Ndoum explained at the Ghana Coaches Association\u2019s Congress over the weekend that, his outfit\u2019s decision was in favour of sponsoring the women\u2019s league. \u201cOur idea was that we were going to take up the sponsorship of the women\u2019s league\u201d he revealed.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI love women\u2019s sports and all through my life I have been helped greatly by women. We realise there was virtually no support for the women\u2019s game and therefore our decision\u201d.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s not clear when the bank will officially become sponsor of the women\u2019s game but the revelation by Dr. Ndoum is expected to excite followers of the game.<\/p>\n<p><!-- uploaded by: 58 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 Sunday, 17 December 2017 Source: Footballmadeinghana.com 2017-12-17 Chairman of Groupe Nduom, Dr. Papa Kwesi Ndoum Chairman of GN Bank, Dr. Papa Kwesi Ndoum says his company pulled out of sponsoring the Division One League in order to become the headline sponsors of the Women\u2019s League.
