Women's League Board Chairperson reveals financial challenges of clubs during COVID-19

Published on: 29 June 2020

Hillary Boateng, the chairperson of the Women's League Board has revealed that clubs are struggling to pay salaries of their players during the coronavirus period. 

The various leagues, including the Women's football league was suspended on 15th March due to the COVID-19 problem.

The Ghana Football Association is yet to decide on the future of women's football. They have outlined 30th June as the date they will make their final decision.

Hillary has given her updates on the current situation of clubs.

“Some of the clubs to be fair have been paying the ladies. It may not be as much as what it pays the men. It may be meager but at leads it’s something and even during this pandemic some clubs have continued to pay the girls,” she told Citi FM.

“With regards to clubs that may be suffering to dole out something for the girls, It’s really tough and so the bank rollers of these clubs, the owners and the clubs that do have patrons are the ones that obviously are being relied on to support, Hillary Boateng concluded.
