The Vice president of
the Ghana football association, Mr. George Afriyie and who also doubles as the
bankroller of Dansoman based Liberty Professionals has revealed the amount of
money he needs to take a Ghana premier league team to play in the group stages
of the CAF Champions league or the CAF confederations cup.
The Black Stars
management committee chairman revealed this to the media at the Ghana football
association’s head-quarters in Accra during a press conference organized for
the 2015/2016 super cup game to usher in the new league season.
Responding to a question
posed by a journalist at the presser about how prepared the teams representing
Ghana in the CAF competitions are, Mr. Afriyie says most of the teams from the
Ghana premier league can’t compete with others on the continent because of
inadequate funds.
“When you look at the
likes of TP Mazempe and co, they pump more money into purchasing the best players
across the continent does why they are surviving in the CAF competitions”-----The
GFA Veep
“Look, someone should
dare me and give me 3million dollars, I will take Liberty Professionals to the
money zone of the CAF Champions league”---He added.
Medeama SC and Ashanti
Gold SC are both representing Ghana in the CAF confederations cup and the CAF Champions
league respectively.
Medeama SC won the
2014/2015 MTN FA cup while Ashanti Gold SC are the defending champions of the
Ghana premier league which is set to kick-off on the 20th and 21st
Febuary, 2016.
