Our players are moving to relatively unknown football countries because they are not paid well

Ex-Ghana international Yaw Acheampong says the movement of Ghanaian local players to relatively unknown football countries is due to their low remuneration.

There has been massive exodus of Ghanaian players in the last decade- most finding themselves in countries that is not highly noted for football.

Former Ashanti Gold coach Yaw Acheampong wants club owners to improve the remuneration of the players.

“It is sad where our players play now a days, we have players going to Tanzanian, Sudan and other countries,” he told Cape Coast-based Atinka FM.

“But you can’t blame them, I believe if they are paid well they will stay, if you player receives an offer from Tanzania where he will be paid $500, which possibly could be more than what he earns at his Club in Ghana, why not, he will leave.”

“It is very worrying in situations like this, we keep on losing our best players to Leagues which I think can’t be compared to that of Ghana.”
