Sports Cul announces bumper deal ($44 million dollars) to be introduced into Ghana Premier League
A Sports consortium have declared a huge deal worth $44 million per year deal for Premier League Clubs and Division One League clubs. Kweku Fosu Asare wasn't keen on disclosing the name of the investors but gave a hint that they are from the UAE. This has caused alot of doubt and chores among the people of Ghana.
According to Dr. Asare, this deal will help develop football and infrastructure during the 3-years period of the deal. In an interview with Happy Sports he said "Sports Cul will pay registered Premier League Players GH¢ 2,000 while those at Division One will receive GH¢1,000. We will award the winner of the Premier League GH¢400,000 and GH¢300,000 and GH¢250,000 as take away for second and third respectively." He added that Sports Cul will give $800,000 for media coverage of the League. "We will give the media $800,000 and this will cover transportation, feeding, accommodation and allowance for media men, this will be spread out to all the media stations in the country. A mouth watering sum of GH¢3,000 will be given per match to officiating officials."
Green Grass Technology has been consulted to be in charge of infrastructure at Sports Cul and every Premier League Club will get two pitches (astro turf and natural turf).
Barimah Attuahene of Hearts of Oak is the Director in charge of Operations with Nii Ayibonte II as a board member. The media and the GFA are all still skeptical about this deal and how it will take off. Some funs have urge the football people to take a closer look at the deal so as not to mess up the league.
