Ghana Premier League side King Faisal is crying for help as they say they are struggling to find the funds to pay salaries of their players amidst the Coronavirus (Covid-19) crisis.
The clubs say they have used all their money to pay for the expenses of the club and the salaries of players in staff in the last couple of months but are now without any cash because of the suspension of football in the country since March.
Speaking to Citi FM, Awal Mohammed who is the Public Relations Officer (PRO) for King Faisal lamented the situation the club is in at the moment.
He revealed, “Most of our monies have been matchday revenues, and because of the fact that almost two months now we have not played football in Ghana, the clubs and for that matter King Faisal, in particular, we are finding it very difficult to get some monies to run the club and pay our players”.
He further called on the Ghana Football Association (GFA) to ensure clubs benefit from the incoming FIFA relief fund so that they can pay their players in these difficult times.
"So it will only be wise for the GFA to consider in giving some of the money to the clubs so at least it will help us in settling the salaries of the players”.
