Former Vice President of the Ghana Football Association (GFA), Fred Pappoe has argued that the Ghana FA is not obliged to share the stimulus package yet to come from FIFA to the clubs.

The World football governing body is set to release not less than $500,000 to all member associations as the Covid-19 pandemic continues to bite hard at football.

While the FA want to use the for cash operational cost, some club owners want the money to be shared for its members – a situation which has resulted in a standoff between the two parties.

“The money is for FA operational expenses and there are clearly guidelines on what the money can be used. It makes it difficult if clubs are demanding for a share of the money. The prescription and guidelines which accompanies the money will not allow the GFA to do that”, Fred Pappoe told Odi Asempa Kwame Oware on Wamputu Sports on Happy 98.9 FM.

“The monies given to the GFA will be accounted for and there will be auditing as well by FIFA”.

He suggested that the GFA should send a proposal to FIFA if they can support the clubs.

“I am sure the GFA can put up a proposal to FIFA to explain to them about sharing the money with the Ghanaian clubs during this difficult times”.

The release of the money is set to financially cushion the various federations against challenges they might encounter as a result of the CoronaVirus bringing football activities to a standstill.
