Captain of Medeama Sporting Club (SC), Joseph Tetteh Zutah has charged the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to focus attention on establishing a standard minimum wage for players.
The West African country sees its players moving to countries less known for football every year as a result of low wages they receive from the local clubs.
After a 26th Ordinary Congress of the Ghana FA where president Kurt Okraku and his Executive Council members have received approval to receive huge sums of money in monthly and sitting allowances, Joseph Tetteh Zutah insists it is time players are also paid well.
“We are happy Football is coming back but as players, we have been advocating for a standard minimum wage that will see players paid well and reduce player exodus for some time now.
“This is a major concern to us, we know they have come to work to improve Ghana Football so they should take a look at this” the Medeama SC skipper told Oyerepa FM.
He added, “Creating wealth as espoused by the GFA President is not for the players only but across board, administrators etc. Players and club owners will be comfortable. We hope to hear positive news.”
Football in Ghana has been on suspension for a very long time but the government has assured that steps are being taken for the resumption of the sport.
