Former Vice President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), George Afriyie has alleged that the juvenile league is an avenue for corruption.<\/p>\n

Kurt Okraku, who is the President of GFA two years ago launched the juvenile league and also served as the Chairman of the Juvenile League Committee.<\/p>\n

Following its launch, the GFA indicated that, the 2020\/21 Juvenile Football League will commence on the weekend of May 7\/8\/9 2021.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

However, Mr Afriyie said coaches who are appointed to lead the juvenile teams are not paid which exposes them to corruption.<\/p>\n

\u201cKurt Okraku appointed a U-15 management and technical team and after four years, what have they done? We were expecting that the team would feed the U-17 team which has not happened.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou will hear that 300 to 400 players have been invited to report to U-15 and U-17 camp to begin preparation for a tournament meanwhile the coaches are not being paid.<\/p>\n

\u201cI can say that it is an avenue for corruption. The coaches are not being paid so what do you expect? This is something that must be a thing past,\u201d he added.<\/p>\n
